Gyromitra melaleucoides is one of the look-alikes to
Discina
perlata and Disciotis venosa. It is distinguished
by a somewhat waxy-looking underside when moist and 10-14 micron non-apiculate
spores. I am certain that Gyromitra melaleucoides has frequently
been eaten by people who believed that they had collected a Discina
species or Disciotis venosa.
