Don't worry, it is not that dumb a question. If you aren't familiar with the word "truffle" there can be some confusion. The actual word means - "a fleshy underground fungus much esteemed as a table delicacy."
A truffle, therefore, is a mushroom, but a chocolate truffle is not a chocolate mushroom. I love chocolate, but that is going a bit too far, even for me.
Actually, I suppose they coined the phrase "chocolate truffle" because it is a delicious treat that is "esteemed as a table delicacy." We have a lot of crazy terms in our language, but there is usually some strange correlation.
Anyway, if you have never tried a chocolate truffle, you've got to give them a go. There are some really yummy and simple recipes at http://www.chocolate-candy-mall.com/chocolate-truffles.html
Have fun and try out a new experience.

No, chocolate truffles are just another type of truffle, truffles are mushrooms found in the ground at the root of trees. Special pigs are trained to sniff out these truffles.

Let's see???? Chocolate truffles would probably be made with chocolate. They are a cookie, confection, sweet food substance.
Mushroom truffles???? Sounds like they are made from mushrooms, something listed as a vegetable or actually a fungus. Not candy like at all.
What's the question? Seems like it answers itself!!!!

nope. I think they call them chocolate truffles because they're the same basic shape.
although you probably can get chocolate-covered mushrooms.
