Morchella kakiicolor is a species of fungus in the family Morchellaceae (Ascomycota).

It was originally proposed as a form of Morchella quercus-ilicis in a 2012 study by Philippe Clowez,[1] but was later re-combined as an autonomous species by Loizides and colleagues, based on molecular phylogenetic data.

In the same study, M. quercus-ilicis f. quercus-ilicis was shown by the authors to be a later synonym of the old taxon Morchella tridentina, and not phylogenetically related to M. kakiicolor.

[2] Morchella kakiicolor is phylogenetically and morphologically very close to the widespread Mediterranean species Morchella dunalii.

So far, this apparently rare morel is only known from Spain and the Canary Islands.
