Morel refers to many species of fungi, so for this day of the challenge I've chosen what is in my opinion the coolest morel, the BURN MOREL.
The mycelium of the burn morel can lie dormant for up to 50 years, only growing fruiting bodies after the forest has been ravaged by a wildfire. Scientists have yet to discover a definitive reason for the mushrooms blooming after a fire disturbance. Some believe that it's due to a change in soil chemistry after burning, or an influx of nutrients released by the heat that the flames produce.
