It has been drawn to my attention that the Yellow Morel Morchela esculenta have now been placed on a provisional red data list in some European countries, although this is not considered a conservation issue in the UK it is worth noting and I will in this case not be harvesting any M elata or M esculenta in the future, a precautionary measure we should all adhere to http://www.kew.org/plants-fungi/Morchella-esculenta.htm
