Naming
It was first introduced by mycologist Christian Hendrik Persoon in 1818, as a superfluous name for the old taxon ''Morchella continua''.Throughout the years, the name ''M. conica'' has been invariably applied to many different species by different authors, and DNA analysis in 2014 revealed that morels identified as "''M. conica''" indeed belonged to ''Morchella deliciosa'', ''Morchella purpurascens'', ''Morchella tridentina'', and ''Morchella vulgaris''.
