Solution

The correct option is D Both A and B
Morchella is morel or sponge mushroom and highly priced for their delicacies. Agaricus is a genus of mushrooms containing both edible and poisonous species, with possibly over 300 members worldwide. Both are edible mushrooms. Morchella, the true morels, is a genus of edible mushrooms closely related to anatomically simpler cup fungi. These distinctive mushrooms appear honeycomb-like in that the upper portion is composed of a network of ridges with pits between them. The ascocarps are prized by gourmet cooks, particularly for French cuisine.
Thus, the correct answer is option D.
