Morchella deliciosa: The distinctive head with ridges and pits is a character of all true morels. The “white morel” has white ridges and is often fruiting under dying elms in Eastern North America but is widely distributed but not usually found under conifers. It can be dried, stored in sealed bags, and when revived has a flavor equal to the fresh material. Look for it only in the spring like all the other morels. Crab stuffed morels are really good!
