Wrinkled Thimble Cap

description Wrinkled Thimble Cap Overview

The wrinkled thimble cap is the common name for Verpa bohemica, a fungus found in parts of Europe and North America during spring. Its wrinkled, thimble-shaped cap hangs from the stem and is attached mainly at the top, unlike the more fully attached cap of a true morel. It is sometimes collected as food, but identification must be exact and the mushroom must be thoroughly cooked because some people experience adverse reactions.
