Morchella kakiicolor is a species of fungus in the family Morchellaceae (Ascomycota). It was originally proposed as a form of 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.^[3]
