The Truffle Shuffle is a quest for level 35. It rewards 4,800 experience and money.
I like to bake with truffles... when I can find them. They only grow up on the Skyrange, and in very, very scarce amounts.
They're a fantastic ingredient, but we can't risk over-farming them. That's why we need to replace what we've taken. Bring me a handful of adult truffles, and plant some of these spores in their place.

As of the newest patch (8.3) this quest is bugged and no longer will let you plant these in the hozen village. It will give you the message "You are in the wrong zone." Probably because of the changes to Vale of Eternal Blossoms which it borders. Head to the bottom tip of the quest area where it changes to Skyrange and you will be able to plant there.
If you plant 8 of these in one spot, and then wait for 5-10 minutes, they'll actually grow there for you to be able to pick them.
I find planting them, and then killing some Hozen (if you have that daily) makes things quite a bit easier.
This has to be one of the oddest quests I have ever done. Its not just a collect quest, its one where you get to leave the items for the next guy.
I am not sure if there are a limit to the number of spores, or a limit to the number of fully bloomed mushrooms, but I noticed a few things after a server reset.
At first the mushrooms were scattered here and there, then as those disappeared, the player placed ones started to bloom. I got to watch the 8 that I planted bloom in the exact order I planted them, with no relation to how fast I planted them. I planted them all in about 15 seconds tops, and there was a pause of about 10 minutes between number 5 and number 6 sprouting. To me it seems like there is either a minimum cap for the number of bloomed mushrooms (ie if there are not x number, the oldest spore will bloom) or a maximum cap for the number of spores (ie if there are more than x number of spores the oldest spore will bloom).
Either way the mechanics of this quest work, its a bit easier on the next guy to do this if the mushrooms are all in one central spot. From this point on I am going to plant mine in that clear grassy area in front of that ritual area, with the candles and the statue with the "laser beam eyes". So if you are looking for them in the future, try that spot, perhaps even plant your own there as well, make it easier on all of us.
