[Truffles]

Pity because we've had a fair number of hot summers here
since and its a shame to think of those culinary delights sitting
going to waste.

Not a total waste, surely. Won't they be producing more offspring
than they would have done once they had been picked. [...]

As the truffles themselves are the fruit-bodies, leaving them will not
all to the number to be found in subsequent years on that site, though
it might result in distant clones being established elsewhere.

Truffles "want" to be eaten. Their spores survive the digestive
tract of animals. That's why they use imitation sex pheromones
to attract predators ;-)
