Morchella deliciosa

 Morchella deliciosa is a species of edible fungus[2] in the family Morchellaceae. It was first described scientifically by Elias Magnus Fries in 1822.[3] It is a European species, although the name has erroneously been applied to morphologically similar North American morels.[4]
