The specific epithet is derived from the Latin esculenta, meaning "edible". The scientific name Morchella esculenta has been applied to many similar yellow morels throughout the world. In 2014 Richard et al. used DNA analysis to restrict the M. esculenta name to a single species of yellow morel commonly found in Europe and also reported from ...
Morchella semilibera in Indiana, US. 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. [68] [69] Moderate-intensity fires are reported to produce higher abundances of morels than low- or high-intensity fires. [48]
Minnesota was the first to declare a species; Morchella esculenta was chosen as its state mushroom in 1984, and codified into Statute in 2010. [1] Four other states, Missouri, Washington, Massachusetts, and New York [2] [3] [4] have had state mushrooms proposed.
In the Great Lakes region of eastern North America, the range of M. americana overlaps with M. ulmaria; the two species cannot be reliably distinguished without DNA sampling. [4] Other similar species include M. diminutiva, M. prava and others in the genus, in addition to Verpa bohemica and Gyromitra species. [1]

Blue Buffalo Co. Ltd. has recalled some of its dry dog food because it could contain too much vitamin D and may make dogs who eat it sick, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration said. So far, 36 ...
Morchella dunensis, the morel of the dunes, is a species of fungus in the family Morchellaceae . It was first described as a form of Morchella esculenta by Castañera and colleagues in 1996, [ 1 ] but was later recombined as a distinct species by Clowez. [ 2 ]
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.
