Foraging: Never eat a wild mushroom on a photo or an app’s word. Many deadly species look like edible ones.
About
Helvella solitaria is a species of fungus in the family Helvellaceae. It produces cup-shaped fruiting bodies with dark brown to black spore-bearing surfaces supported by ribbed, whitish stalks. First described by the Finnish mycologist Petter Adolf Karsten in 1871, the species is distinguished by its hollow stipe with three to six blunt ribs that continue onto the cup's base and its ellipsoid-shaped spores containing a single oil droplet.
