Extract from Wikipedia article: Morchella deliciosa is a species of edible fungus in the family Morchellaceae. It was first described scientifically by Elias Magnus Fries in 1822. It is a European species, although the name has erroneously been applied to morphologically similar North American morels.
Morchella deliciosa is a species of morel fungus characterized by its white to pale yellow honeycomb-like cap and white stem. In St. Petersburg and the surrounding Leningrad Oblast, it typically grows in rich soils, often near ash, elm, or poplar trees, from late April to early June. In north-western Russia, Morchella deliciosa is commonly found in similar habitats, including forests, parks, and along riverbanks, with a focus on areas with abundant moisture and nutrient-rich soil.
