First they need a competent botanist. A morel is not a mushroom.
One more damn'd tax.
You are most eminently correct..
"Major steps in evolution are generally invisible to science, because they occur so rapidly that even the fossil evidence disappears.
To study a major step in evolution as it is occurring is unprecedented in science. The morel produces such a result in a very dramatic way.
It is currently evolving from a yeast to a mushroom.
This means the macro-morphology (large scale structure) of the morel is evolving from scratch.
There is no other known example of macro-morphology originating from a single cell organism in hundreds of millions of years.
Huh? I've never heard that.
