Morchella disparilis

A small Mediterranean black morel described in 2016, distinguished by an unusually deep sinus where the cap meets the stem. It fruits in spring in the thermomediterranean zone among cypress, strawberry trees and hawthorn. Morels are notoriously hard to fruit indoors, and nothing is published on cultivating this species.
