Morchella ovalis

An old morel name, from Wallroth, moved to Morchella by Boudier in 1897, for a morel with an oval cap. Its modern application is not settled; the two records are from northeast Spain and southern France. It is not cultivated, so conditions come from its recorded sites and from how wild morels fruit.
