The pitted yellow-brown caps measure 2–7 centimetres (1–3 inches) broad by 2–10 cm (1–4 in) tall, and are fused to the stem at its lower margin, forming a continuous hollow. The pits are rounded and irregularly arranged. The hollow stem is typically 2–9 cm (1– 3 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) long by 2–5 cm (1–2 in) thick, and white to yellow ...
Attached to the cap at several points, the stipe is 3–6 cm (1– 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) high and 1–5 cm (1 ⁄ 2 –2 in) wide. [18] G. esculenta has been reported to have a solid stipe whereas those of true morels ( Morchella spp.) are hollow, [ 19 ] although a modern source says it is hollow as well. [ 17 ]
The synonym Ptychoverpa bohemica is often used by European mycologists and it is commonly known as the early morel or the wrinkled thimble-cap. The mushroom has a pale yellow or brown thimble-shaped cap—2 to 4 cm (3 ⁄ 4 to 1 + 5 ⁄ 8 in) in diameter by 2 to 5 cm (3 ⁄ 4 to 2 in) long—that has a surface wrinkled and ribbed with brain ...

Morchella, the true morels, is a genus of edible sac fungi closely related to anatomically simpler cup fungi in the order Pezizales (division Ascomycota).These distinctive fungi have a honeycomb appearance due to the network of ridges with pits composing their caps.
Should you cut morels or pull them from the ground? An expert from the Missouri Mycological Society weighs in on the debate.
It is one of many related species commonly known as black morels, and until 2012 the name M. elata was broadly applied to black morels throughout the globe. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Like most members of the genus, M. elata is a popular edible fungus and is sought by many mushroom hunters .
