According to a standard reference work, the family has contained at least 49 [[species]] distributed among 4 [[genera]],<ref name=Kirk2008/> but in 2012, 5 [[genera]] producing the [[sequestrate]] and hypogeous [[ascoma]] were added.<ref name=TrappeEtAl2010/> 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]]''. The remaining four genera produce the sequestrate fruit bodies. 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/> ==References== {{Reflist|refs= <ref name=Bunyard1995>{{cite journal |vauthors=Bunyard BA, Nicholson MS, Royse DJ |year=1995 |title=Phylogenetic resolution of ''Morchella'', ''Verpa'', and ''Disciotis'' (Pezizales: Morchellaceae) based on restriction enzyme analysis of the 28S ribosomal RNA gene |journal=Experimental Mycology |volume=19 |issue=3 |pages=223–33 |pmid=7553270 |doi=10.1006/emyc.1995.1027}}</ref> <ref name=TrappeEtAl2010>{{cite journal |doi=10.3852/09-232 |title=''Kalapuya brunnea'' gen. & sp. nov. and its relationship to the other squestrate genera in Morchellaceae |journal=Mycologia |year=2010 |vauthors=Trappe MJ, Trappe JM, Bonito GM |volume=102 |issue=5 |pages=1058–1065 | pmid=20943505}}</ref> <ref name=Kimbrough1970>{{cite journal |author=Kimbrough JW. |year=1970 |title=Current trends in the classification of Discomycetes |journal=Botanical Review |volume=36 |issue=2 |pages=91–161 |doi=10.1007/BF02858958}}</ref> <ref name=Kirk2008>{{cite book |vauthors=Kirk PM, Cannon PF, Minter DW, Stalpers JA |title=Dictionary of the Fungi |edition=10th |publisher=CAB International |location=Wallingford, UK |year=2008 |page=439 |isbn=978-0-85199-826-8}}</ref> <ref name=ODonnell1997>{{cite journal |vauthors=O'Donnell K, Cigelnik E, Weber NS, Trappe JM |year=1997|title=Phylogenetic relationships among ascomycetous truffles and the true and false morels inferred from 18S and 28S ribosomal DNA sequence analysis |journal=[[Mycologia]] |volume=89 |issue=1 |pages=48–65 |doi=10.2307/3761172 |jstor=3761172}} {{subscription}}</ref> }} {{Morchellaceae}} [[Category:Morchellaceae]] [[Category:Ascomycota families]]'
