A species of Mitrophora.
The semifree morel, recognizable by its conical, pitted cap joined to the lower half of its stalk, is a spring-growing fungus often discovered in forests or along grassy borders. This unique structure, perched on a stem that ranges from white to light in color, is instrumental in the decomposition of organic material, thereby fostering soil vitality and the balance of woodland environments.
