Morchella eximia
Species of fungus
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Morchella eximia is a globally-occurring fungus in the family Morchellaceae (Ascomycota), first described by Émile Boudier in 1910.[1] In an elaborate phylogenetic and nomenclatural revision of the genus in 2014, Richard and colleagues[2] showed that the taxa Morchella anthracophila, Morchella carbonaria, and Morchella septimelata, proposed in 2012 by Clowez[3] and Kuo et al.[4] respectively, are all later synonyms of this old taxon.
