Vineyard & Orchard Morels

      I had been searching for many years as to what name would belong to these three varieties of morels (there may be more) found growing in the grape rows of California vineyards. Commercial buyers & picker say they are just morels. The old vine wood is harvested, dragged through spore & mycelia and then mulched for sale in gardening purposes; voila you get landscape morels. Grape morel seems obvious but there are some that grow in nearby orchards, in fact I have photographed morels growing in orchards as far north as Omak Washington. Then I wondered if the morel spore or mycelia might have transferred from whence the cuttings originated; Greece perchance or Italy where they may already have published names…
