Abstract

True morel ascocarps commonly appear in spring for a limited period of a few weeks over the world. There has been only one earlier report of a morel population, presumably mycorrhizal, persisting for several months at a single site from Israel. The present study describes a new pioneer type that fruited in northern Israel from early November to late May (winter and spring). The new ecotype, Morchella rufobrunnea (MS2-IL), was identified using the sequence of the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer and is reported for the first time out of the American Continent. Its population size was monitored from 2001 to 2006 and correlated with concurrently collected rainfall and temperature data. This constitutes the first report of a sighting of M. rufobrunnea in Israel and the second report describing long season morels anywhere in the world.
