2. Different shapes
Wild morels come in different shapes and can be oval, round, or pointy. Most of the cultivated morels are pointed.
3. Different colors
Wild morels are lighter in color and have many colors, but most are light brown and some are off-white. The color of cultured morels is relatively uniform, usually black, gray, dark brown. 4. Different patterns
The patterns on wild morels are varied, without any regularity. The patterns of artificially cultured morels are similar, usually trapezoidal patterns.
