Earth-toned cap of a mushroom that mimics the prized morel, but isn't.
False Morel is a muted brown, close to mauve.
It can be described as muted, dull, matte and soft.
Set in white, because white reads best on it.
The name false morel is given to several species of mushroom which bear a resemblance to the highly regarded true morels of the genus Morchella. Like Morchella, false morels are members of the Pezizales, but within that group represent several unrelated taxa scattered through the families Morchellaceae, Discinaceae, and Helvellaceae, with the epithet "false morel" most often ascribed to members of the genus Gyromitra.
Read on WikipediaGyromitra esculenta is an ascomycete fungus from the genus Gyromitra. The fruiting body, or mushroom, is an irregular brain-shaped cap, dark brown in colour, that can reach 10 centimetres high and 15 cm (6 in) wide, perched on a stout white stipe up to 6 cm high. It is widely distributed across Europe and North America, normally fruiting in sandy soils under coniferous trees in spring and early summer.
Read on WikipediaMorchella, the true morels, is a genus of edible sac fungi closely related to anatomically simpler cup fungi in the order Pezizales. These distinctive fungi have a honeycomb appearance due to the network of ridges with pits composing their caps.
