False Morel grows at the same time

Both species grow together for about 8 wk a year. Most strongly from early April to late April.

Curve from 304 observations (GBIF: Poland, Czechia, Slovakia, Germany), smoothed week by week. It shows when foragers most often report the species, not how much of it grows.

Key features

Fruit body cup-shaped, later spreading flat, brown, with the inner surface wrinkled and radially veined (like a flattened morel). Smells distinctly of chlorine/bleach (diagnostic feature). Related to morels; must be parboiled before eating.
