Morchella arbutiphila is a species of fungus in the family Morchellaceae (Ascomycota). It was described as new to science in 2016 from the island of Cyprus, where it occurs under strawberry trees (Arbutus andrachne).[1] According to multigene phylogenetic analyses presented by Loizides and colleagues, Morchella arbutiphila corresponds to phylogenetic lineage Mel-30, which was also shown to be present in Turkey in a 2010 study by Taşkın and colleagues.[2]
