Morchellaceae

The Morchellaceae is a family of ascomycete fungi. The best known members are the highly-regarded and commercially picked true morels of the genus Morchella, the thimble morels of the genus Verpa, and a genus of cup-shaped fungi Disciotis.

Analysis of the ribosomal DNA of many of the Pezizales showed the three genera Verpa , Morchella, and Disciotis to be closely related. Thus they are now included in the family Morchellaceae.
