Morel hunters have been arguing about exactly what they're finding for over 200 years. The genus Morchella was formally established in 1794 by botanist Christiaan Hendrik Persoon, but for the next two centuries mycologists couldn't agree on how many true species actually existed — estimates ranged from as few as three all the way up to more than thirty, since morels change shape so much depending on where and how they grow that looks alone couldn't settle it. DNA testing finally cracked the mystery: genetic studies have now identified roughly 70 distinct morel species worldwide, sorted into three major genetic groups nicknamed the white morels, yellow morels, and black morels, plus a fire-loving group that pops up in the ashes of burned forests. A single wave of research in 2012 alone added more than twenty newly described species to the books, proving that the "simple" morel hunt has always been more scientifically complicated than it looks.

Get ready for morel hunting season, a time when nature enthusiasts and mushroom hunters alike flock to the woods in search of these elusive and delicious fungi.
