Snyder's morel is usually described as a ‘natural morel’ because it is abundant in non-burned mountain coniferous forests. Like most species of morel, its eye-catching conical cap with an intricate reticulated pattern gives it an appearance quite distinct from other fungi. It is difficult to cultivate, thus generally only found in the wild.
