Certain Morchella species (M. eximia, M. importuna, M. tomentosa and others) exhibit a pyrophilic behaviour and may grow abundantly in forests which have been recently burned by a fire.

Its North American range extends much further south than V. bohemica. [20] Another similar group of species are the "half-free" morels, e.g. Morchella semilibera, M. populiphila, and M. punctipes. [24] These typically have a honeycombed cap attached to the stalk for about half of its length, and with ridges that are darker than the pits.
