This gives Ascomycota the ability to discharge spores forcefully by squeezing the asci . Finding morels is a real challenge.
Morels have a special knack for hiding out in the open.
The casual observer may see the morel as a pebble or a pine cone and pass it by without even noticing. Notice how well the morels blend into their respective backgrounds. In fact, this author could not find the white morels even after a friend had pointed out their general location. Another prominent group of Ascomycota is the Cup Fungi , so named for a macroscopic rather than microscopic feature. The mushrooms of these fungi look like little cups or sacs and often do not have a stalk at all.
