Appearance
This species is characterised by the predominantly grey colours of its cap and "blistered", highly irregular appearance of its ridges and pits.Naming
Owing to its high morphological plasticity, its taxonomical status had long been in flux, sometimes treated as a variety of, or conspecific to ''Morchella esculenta'', while at the same time several forms and varieties of ''M. vulgaris'' itself have been described. An extensive phylogenetic and nomenclatural study by Richard and colleagues in 2014, confirmed the status of ''Morchella vulgaris'' as a distinct species, and resolved several of its synonymities.References:
