Morchella vulgaris

''Morchella vulgaris'' is a widespread fungus of the ''Morchellaceae'' family . It was originally described in 1801 as a form of the common yellow morel by mycologist Christiaan Hendrik Persoon, but was later recombined as a distinct species by Samuel Gray.
No name Morel. Another rare morel member, just couldn't find the English name for it. in Dutch it is called 'hersenkronkelmorielje' Geotagged,Morchella vulgaris,Netherlands,Spring

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.
