Morchella capitata is a later synonym of Morchella exuberans. Originally identified as phylogenetic species Mel-9, it was described as new to science in 2012 by Kuo and colleagues.[1] In 2014 however, Richard and colleagues clarified the taxonomic status of this species,[2] retaining the name Morchella exuberans of Clowez (2012)[3] over M. capitata.

It is a cosmopolitan, post-fire fungus in the family Morchellaceae, shown to occur in at least three continents, and is one of four species of fire-adapted morels in western North America (the others being M. eximia, M. sextelata, and M. tomentosa). It has also been found in Turkey,[4] Sweden,[4] China [5] and Cyprus,[6] but remains unclear whether dispersal between these distant locations occurred naturally or through accidental introduction by humans.[5]
