  Morchella esculenta (MushroomExpert.Com)
It seems obvious that the species name Morchella esculenta must be preserved, given its universal recognition (and, perhaps, because it is the type species for the genus Morchella).
This perspective is not very concerned with preserving the name's heritage (which might be a good thing, since taxonomic heritage is almost entirely Western and, as I have argued elsewhere, as much cultural and linguistic as "scientific") but the mushroom's heritage would be placed front and center.

  Morchella esculenta
Morchella esculenta, the Common Morel, fruits from March to May and is a popular edible fungus.
The specimen illustrated here is most probably Morchella elata, a very closely related species with a more pointed cap than Morchella esculenta and with the cap pits tending to align in vertical rows.
Gyromitra esculenta has a red-brown, brain-like cap and a stipe that is hollowed into several chambers.

 Morel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The best known morel is the Morchella deliciosa, which is commonly known as simply "morel." Other types include Morchella esculenta, M.
Mushroom hunters will commonly refer to them by their color, i.e., gray, yellow, fl, etc., as the species are very similar in appearance and vary considerably within species and age of individual mushroom.
The morel grows abundantly in the two and sometimes three years immediately following a forest fire, but where fire suppression is practiced, may grow regularly though in small amount in the same spot year after year.

 Anomaly in Morchella Research.
Mycelium of Morchella esculenta and Morchella angusticeps differentiated on agar media creating an anomaly, when suitable nitrogen sources were used.
The mycelium of morel mushrooms (Morchella spp.) is readily established in pure culture from ascospores (Hervey, Bistis and Leong, 1978; Gessner, Romano and Schultz, 1987) or stipe tissue (Ower, 1982; Brock, 1985), but ascocarps have only been produced in a soil-like medium (Ower, Mills and Malachowski, 1986).
Morchella esculenta produced gray pigment, but only when a cutout was made in the high density mycelium, as resulted from subculturing (Fig.

 Morchella - MicrobeWiki
Morchella also are often found in disturbed environments, such as areas destroyed by forest fire.
Morchella deliciosa are often referred to as "tulip morels" or "hickory morels" because they are commonly found under these trees.
Because Morchella fungi are so highly coveted for culinary uses, many researchers are studying the biological diversity of these organisms in order to ensure that they do not become threatened.

 Growing Morchella.
Not all Morchella research is taken up here, only that portion which is most directly related to growing morels under controlled conditions.
In attempting to control the growth of Morchella mycelium through nutritional and cultural studies, Hervey, Bistis and Leong, 1978(4), encountered an unusual ridge of growth that forms between mycelial types from different spore strains.
A large number of additional allotype variations were found within the genomes of Morchella in later studies by Yoon, Gessner and Romano, 1990(13); Royse and May, 1990(9); Jung, Gessner, Kuedell and Romano, 1993(5) and Bunyard, Nicholson and Royse, 1994(2).

Along with 2 friends, we walked off with 571 esculentas in less than 2 hours, many of which were the large "Crassipes" type.
In conculsion, I am wondering if the absence of esculentas last spring had anything to do with the abundance of them this year.

 Identifying Morel Mushrooms
The beefsteak morel or "Gyromitra esculenta" is one of those mushrooms that many people still eat today but are known to cause very ill effects such as vomiting, stomach cramps, high fever and even death.
As with all true morels the inside of the stem is hollow throughout the cap.
The cap hangs down from the top of the stem like a skirt; but the most obvious detection of the verpa is that when you cut it open lengthwise they have little wisps of cottony fibers inside them, whereas half-free morels are hollow like all true morels.

In the annual rat race to find the elusive delectable morel, or Morchella esculenta (its surname Latin for "deliciously edible"), it's every hunter for himself.
The body cavity is one of the easiest ways to identify a "true morel," Tansey said, because it is easy to slide a finger all the way up inside them to check.
In contrast, false poisonous morels like Gyromitra esculenta -- commonly called the "beefsteak" -- are usually stuffed with pith, or soft, spongy tissue found inside the stems of some plants.
