Morchella elata, "Morels", are edible and delicious, found and prized all over the world. An ascomycete, it often fruits after fire, or in the springtime: these specimens were photographed in springtime after summer bushfires earlier in the year. Fruit bodies to 120 mm, wrinkled and ridged with dark vertical ridges. Stem obviously different, off-white and hollow. Spore print cream. Morels are highly variable, but research shows that it is likely that there are only three species. Halls Gap, Grampians, 2006.
