Gyromitra Melaleucoides
''Gyromitra'' () is a genus of about 18 species of ascomycete fungi. They are a false morel - a frequently toxic mushroom that can be mistaken for edible mushrooms of the genus ''Morchella'' (morels). Taxonomy The name ''Gyromitra'' comes from ''gyro'' meaning ''convoluted'' and ''mitra'' meaning ''turban''. Analysis of the ribosomal DNA of many of the Pezizales showed the genus ''Gyromitra'' to be most closely related to the genus ''Discina'', and also ''Pseudorhizina'', ''Hydnotrya'', and only distantly related to ''Helvella''. Thus the four genera are now included in the family Discinaceae. Species The genus consists of the following species: * '' Gyromitra accumbens'' Harmaja (1986) * '' Gyromitra apiculatula'' (McKnight) Berthet (1972) * '' Gyromitra arctica'' Vassilkov (1969) * '' Gyromitra bubakii'' Velen. (1922) * ''Gyromitra californica'' (W. Phillips) Raitv. (1965) * ''Gyromitra chirripoensis'' L.D. Gómez (1972) * '' Gyromitra columbiana'' Harmaja (1986) * '' Gyrom ...

Gyromitra Esculenta
''Gyromitra esculenta'' is an ascomycete fungus from the genus ''Gyromitra'', widely distributed across Europe and North America. It normally fruits in sandy soils under coniferous trees in spring and early summer. The Ascocarp, fruiting body, or mushroom, is an irregular brain-shaped Pileus (mycology), cap, dark brown in colour, that can reach high and wide, perched on a stout white stipe (mycology), stipe up to high. Although potentially fatal if eaten raw (causing restrictions on its sales in some areas), ''G. esculenta'' is still commonly parboiled for consumption, being a popular delicacy in Europe and the upper Great Lakes region of North America; evidence suggests that thorough cooking does not eliminate all traces of mycotoxins. When consumed, the principal active mycotoxin, gyromitrin, is hydrolyzed into the toxic compound monomethylhydrazine, which hepatotoxicity, affects the liver, neurotoxicity, central nervous system, and sometimes the nephrotoxicity, kid ...

Gyromitra Californica
''Gyromitra californica'', commonly known as the umbrella false morel, is a species of fungus in the family Discinaceae. It was described as ''Helvella californica'' by W. Phillips in 1879, collected near Yét Atwam Creek, just south of McCloud, California. It is considered probably poisonous. However, poisoning reports do not exist for G. californica, and the toxin gyromitrin Gyromitrin is a toxin and carcinogen present in several members of the fungal genus '' Gyromitra'', like '' G. esculenta''. Its formula is . It is unstable and is easily hydrolyzed to the toxic compound monomethylhydrazine . Monomethylhydraz ... has not been detected in raw samples.
