About
Helvella semiobruta is a species of mushroom-forming fungus in the family Helvellaceae, formally described in 1976. The fungus produces stalked, cap-shaped fruit bodies with lobes that start greyish white and darken to black with age, supported by a hollow stalk featuring three to five blunt longitudinal ribs. It grows in mycorrhizal association with rock rose shrubs and is primarily found in Mediterranean climates of southern Europe, though it has been recorded as far north as Sweden. The species typically fruits from January to March at elevations of 500–700 metres above sea level in maquis shrubland habitats.
