I am not positive about the identification of the morel depicted in this photo, though its morphological features tend to correspond with descriptions of Morchella prava Dewsbury, Moncalvo, J. D. Moore, and M. Kuo). The dark pits and pale ridges of Morchella prava are more randomly arranged than in our other morel species. This mushroom tends to be found under pines and oaks and in wet, sandy environments near water from the 43rd degree latitude North.
