Yellow morel is a species of fungus in the family Morchellaceae.  It is one of the most readily recognized of all the edible mushrooms and highly sought after. Each morel body begins as a tightly compressed, grayish sponge with lighter ridges, and expands to form a large yellowish sponge with large pits and ridges raised on a large white stem. The pitted yellow-brown caps measure 1–3 inches broad by 1–4 in tall, and are fused to the stem at its lower margin, forming a continuous hollow. The pits are rounded and irregularly arranged. The hollow stem is typically 1–3+1⁄2 in long by 1–2 in thick, and white to yellow. The fungus fruits under hardwoods and conifers during a short period in the spring, depending on the weather, and is also associated with old orchards, woods and disturbed grounds.
