Slide 2.
Verpa Bohemica, not a true morel at all, is characterized
by a wrinkled cap hanging like a skirt from the top of an often 6" tall
whitish stem. The stem is hollow and stuffed with a cottony material. Verpa
bohemica is a good edible when cooked and eaten in moderation.
It may even help alleviate the symptoms of arthritis. However, when eaten
in quantity or for several days in a row, it can cause a scary loss of
muscular coordination.
