Discina is a genus of ascomycete fungi related to the false morels of the genus Gyromitra. There are about 20 species in the genus.[2] They bear dish- or cup-shaped fruit bodies. The best known member is the pig ear (D. ancilis), which is deemed edible after thorough cooking, although is viewed with suspicion given its relation to the highly toxic false morels.
