Chamonixia pachydermis, is a species of fungus in the family Boletaceae, found in New Zealand. Chamonixia pachydermis is common in areas of New Zealand beech forest and is often partially buried on the ground. It has a blue discoloration.

Aureoboletus betula is a species of mushroom producing fungus in the family Boletaceae. It is commonly known as the shaggy-stalked bolete.

Morchella tomentosa, commonly called the gray, fuzzy foot, or black foot morel, is a species of fungus in the family Morchellaceae. M. tomentosa is a fire-associated species described from western North America, formally described as new to science in 2008. Morchella tomentosa is identified by its post-fire occurrence, fine hairs on the surface of young fruit bodies, and a thick, "double-walled" stem. It also has unique sclerotia-like underground parts. Color can range from black and "sooty" to gray, brown, yellow, or white, although color tends to progress from darker to lighter with age of

Morchella importuna is a species of fungus in the family Morchellaceae described from North America in 2012. It occurs in gardens, woodchip beds, and other urban settings of northern California and the Pacific Northwest region of the United States and Canada. The fungus has also been reported from Turkey, Spain, France, Switzerland, Canada and China, although it is unknown whether this is a result of accidental introductions. It is considered a choice edible mushroom. The fruit bodies develop a distinctive ladder-like pattern of pits and ridges on the surface of their conical caps.

Morchella snyderi is a species of fungus in the family Morchellaceae. Described as new to science in 2012, it occurs in the montane forests of western North America, including California, Idaho, Montana, Oregon and Washington. It produces fruit bodies up to 14 cm (5.5 in) tall with ridged and pitted conical caps, and stipes that become pitted in maturity. The color of the morel is yellow to tan when young, but the cap ridges become brown to black in maturity or when dried.

Morchella populiphila is a species of morel fungus (family Morchellaceae) native to northwestern North America. Described as new to science in 2012, its specific epithet refers to its association with black cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa). The morel used to be referred to as Morchella semilibera in western North American field guides until molecular analysis established that to be a strictly European species. M. populiphila occurs in California, Nevada and Oregon. Its fruit bodies grow up to 15 cm (6 in) tall with a ridged and pitted conical cap that attaches about halfway down the stipe.

Morchella sextelata is a species of ascomycete fungus in the family Morchellaceae described as new to science in 2012. The fruit bodies have a roughly conical cap up to 7.5 cm (3 in) tall and 5 cm (2 in) wide, with a surface of mostly vertically arranged pits. The cap is initially yellowish to brownish, but it darkens to become almost black in maturity. The stipe is white and hollow, measuring 2–5 cm (3⁄4–2 in) high by 1–2.2 cm (1⁄2–3⁄4 in) wide. The species cannot be reliably distinguished from close relatives without the use of DNA analysis. Morchella sextelata is found in western North

Morchella brunnea is a species of fungus in the family Morchellaceae. Described as new to science in 2012, it is known from Oregon, where it fruits under hardwood trees.

Morchella septimelata is a species of fungus in the family Morchellaceae described as new to science in 2012. Occurring in western North America, it has been collected from British Columbia, Montana and Oregon, where it fruits at elevations of 1,000 to 2,000 m (3,300 to 6,600 ft) in coniferous forests in years following slight to moderate burning. Morchella septimelata is one of four species of wildfire-adapted morel in western North America, the others being M. capitata, M. sextelata, and M. tomentosa. M. septimelata cannot be reliably distinguished from M. sextelata without the use of DNA

Morchella septentrionalis species of fungus in the family Morchellaceae native North America. Described as new to science in 2012, it has a northerly eastern North American distribution, where it occurs north of 44°N. The fungus fruits under hardwoods, particularly American aspen (Populus grandidentata) and American ash (Fraxinus americana).

Morchella prava is a species of fungus in the family Morchellaceae described as new to science in 2012. It is found in the range 43–50°N across North America, where it fruits from April to June.

Morchella diminutiva is a species of fungus in the family Morchellaceae native to North America. Described as new to science in 2012, it occurs in eastern North America, usually near Fraxinus americana and Liriodendron tulipifera, but also under other hardwoods like species of Carya.

Morchella ulmaria is a species of fungus in the family Morchellaceae. It was described as new to science in 2012 by Philippe Clowez. Later in the same year, Michael Kuo and colleagues described Morchella cryptica, which is a junior synonym of M. ulmaria. The species occurs in the forests of Midwestern North America, often associated with white ash (Fraxinus americana), the American tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) or species of maple or elm. It is closely related to M. castanea and 2 unnamed species from Asia. The range of M. ulmaria overlaps with M. americana, which cannot be reliably
