I recently found dozens of Helvella sp. which would correspond to a new record for the island of Gozo and most likely the whole archipelago. It was growing from very damp and shaded ground coved with Juglans leaves (and some twigs). I read the teeth on the lower surface is characteristic for the species, hence my determination to Helvella ephippium. Is it common in central and south Europe?

The stem is very hairy throughout, and I have most (the essential) micro data too (spores, paraphyses and asci). I read that latispora has a smooth / smoothish stem.

I am writing a report on this fungus and I wonder which taxon I should use - ephippium (1841) or sublicia (1799)?
Maybe this recent paper by Skrude and Scumaker (Dec 2020) : ( https://www.researchgate.net/publication/340431565_The_genera_Helvella_and_Dissingia_Ascomycota_Pezizomycetes_in_Europe_-_Notes_on_species_from_Spain ) using the taxon sublicia is the answer.
