gyromitra esculenta
The False Morel mushroom looks like a brain with its wavy, lobed shape! It's a fun fungus to find in the forest, but be careful, it's not safe to eat!
Hábitat: False Morels typically grow in sandy or loamy soil in forests, especially under trees like pines and oaks.
The False Morel has a brain-like or convoluted cap, typically reddish-brown to dark brown, unlike the honeycomb-like pits of true morels. Its irregular, lobed cap often appears wrinkled, giving it a unique, crumpled look, distinguishing it from edible varieties.
