Fruit bodies ( apothecia ) are large, up to 10 cm or more in height, similar in shape to hat-legged . Verps have bell-shaped hats with free edges (as opposed to morels) - hence the name of the genus. Outside, the hat is wrinkled, wrinkled, with winding folds or grooves extending vertically. Leg long, cylindrical, smooth, pubescent or slightly scaly, sometimes slightly grooved; whitish, yellowish or brownish.
Hats - mycorrhizal fungi and saprophytes , grow on the soil . Fruits are usually spring, highly demanding on the composition of the soil and on the trees with which they form mycorrhiza.
