Morchella species have an ascocarp with a sponge-like pileus, with a hollow stipe and pileus. Verpa species have a cup-like or thimble-shaped, smooth or wrinkled pileus above a hollow stipe. Disciotis has a cup-like pileus with vein-like hymenial folds and a small or nonexistent stipe. [4] The ascospores are ellipsoid, smooth, and usually ...

Morchella genus (morel family) morels belong to the ascomycete grouping of fungi. They are usually found in open scrub, woodland or open ground in late spring. When collecting this fungus, care must be taken to distinguish it from the poisonous false morels, including Gyromitra esculenta. The morel must be cooked before eating.

Morchella vulgaris is a widespread fungus of the family Morchellaceae . It was originally described in 1801 as a form of the common yellow morel ( Morchella esculenta ) by mycologist Christiaan Hendrik Persoon , but was later recombined as a distinct species by Samuel Gray .
The species was described as new to science in 2012. In 2014, Richard et al. clarified its taxonomic status, retaining the name Morchella americana of Clowez and Matherly (2012) over M. esculentoides. [2] [3]
