The '''Morchellaceae''' are a [[family (biology)|family]] of [[Ascomycota|ascomycete]] fungi. According to a standard reference work, the family contains 49 [[species]] distributed among 4 [[genera]].<ref name=Kirk2008/> The best-known members are the highly-regarded and commercially picked true [[morel]]s 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.<ref name=ODonnell1997/>

==General description==

Other than the [[teleomorph, anamorph and holomorph|anamorph]] genus ''[[Costantinella]]'', the three remaining genera of Morchellaceae are distinguished by [[ascocarp]] morphology. ''[[Morchella]]'' species have an ascocarp with a sponge-like [[Pileus (mycology)|pileus]], with a hollow [[Stipe (mycology)|stipe]] and pileus. ''[[Verpa]]'' species have a cup-like or thimble-shaped, smooth or wrinkled pileus above a hollow [[stipe (mycology)|stipe]]. ''[[Disciotis]]'' has a cup-like pileus with vein-like [[hymenium|hymenial]] folds and a small or nonexistent stipe.<ref name=Bunyard1995/> The [[ascospore]]s are ellipsoid, smooth, and usually [[hyaline]].<ref name=Kimbrough1970/>
