Gyromitra californica, commonly known as the umbrella false morel, is a species of fungus in the family Discinaceae. It was described as Helvella californica by W. Phillips in 1879. It is considered probably poisonous. However, poisoning reports do not exist for G. californica, and the toxin gyromitrin has not been detected in raw samples.
