Anybody know how to get truffles? [Solution Found]

[Truffles are a seasonal resource that appear in Dapplewood during Cretumnus on the ground. You need Lucky/a Clearer dino to harvest them. They are used to create Dapplewood decorations]

For context, truffles are (supposedly) a resource in Dapplewood that I need in order to make the Mushroomy Logs for pen biome construction. My best guess is to bring a discoverer dinosaur with you and see if they find a truffle, kinda like how it works in real life? I'm not sure, I brought my Troodons with me and started ignoring them when all they seemed to do was bark at normal sparkling pick ups, but they might have a point. I'll try again

Edit: The tiny mushroom planter box I found buried in boulders on my ranch turned the pen into forest biome so...nice lol. Still want to know how to get truffles, my Troodons didn't find anything

Apparently it's a skill Lucky has, but I haven't figured it out myself. I assume all the dinos who dig debris can also find truffles.

That was one of my other guesses. A Clearer dino. I don't remember seeing debris Lucky could clean up in the forest, but I didn't have Lucky with me in forest runs and mostly brought my Anky to farm wood so I'll just look again. Thanks

Couldn't find any spots that Lucky could interact with so far, then I got distracted by a very beautiful T-Rex and tamed her. We'll try it again later lol

I figured it out! I moved onto the last season of the year (Cretumnus/Autumn) and ended up finding truffles on the ground in the forest. So, they are simply a seasonal resource that appears during Cretumnus.
