Elfin Saddle

Z found this interesting mushroom in the forest behind his office today. It is a Hooded False Morel (also called Elfin Saddle) or its close relative Gyromitra ambigua.

None of them are recommended for eating, since they contain the toxin gyromitrin, which our body transforms into one of the main components of rocket fuel if we eat this 'shroom.
