Morchella pragensis

Morchella pragensis is a Central European morel described by Smotlacha in 1952; its standing as a distinct species is unresolved. Like other morels it fruits in spring on soil in light woodland and parks. Morels are hard to cultivate, and there is nothing specific to this name.
