It's a half free morels 100% and is edible! Morchella punctipes if you want to do your own research -

Found 6 Half Free Morels & 2 tiny grays! In a city park in Warren County!

Thank you!! I gave my mom some of the mushrooms i found yesterday and she said it was a false morel. I wasnt sure and she got me questioning myself lol

The only "false morel" you have to worry about around here is Gyromitra esculenta - but it has a red to dark brown, brain-like cap that is not attached and not hollow when you cut it. Once you compare it to true morels, it's hard to confuse them. Remember: all edible morels are hollow when sliced. And don't be deterred by perfectly imperfect true morels that have weird curves!

Yeah I knew about the red brown ones and I was pretty sure the pic I sent wasnt a false but my mom said she seen somewhere that it was ...so I figured better safe than sorry now and I can assure my mom I was NOT out to poison her ! Lol

That could be a verpa bohemia.

Cut in half to verify where the cap connects to the stem. Check the differences between verpa bohemia and morchella semilibera.

I've had verpas I picked up a foot over from a half free. Always cut in half, IMO.

Hunted a spot this morning that I found last year and picked 13 nice blacks. This afternoon I decided to find some new patches and lucked out finding 3 patches totaling another 47 for 60 for the day. Hunted a couple of very dependable yellow grey patches with nothing to show.

There were 3 in the 160 I found I wasnt at her house to look at them ...she threw them out to be on the safe side. If I find another one I will inspect it more closely.

They are sneaky!

Ok so I found one in some I was soaking so it was kinda squishy..what do y'all think?

 

[Zabz]

That one looks sketch to me. Half frees I find have just a tiny bit off the stem, that looks like it could be either or.

I tossed it one tiny mushroom not worth it..

 

[Zabz]

Some people say verpas are edible. I like to be certain. Any doubt it's thrown out. Left half free, right verpa.

That’s all I have found so far this year. Had a bacon cheeseburger with a heap of them on top last night.

I went to LBL yesterday and spent about four hours looking. They have an area that was just burned off and I have heard that can stimulate the shrooms...? I didn't find any but on the plus side, it seems to have wiped the ticks out!! I kept looking and finally found a tulip poplar and found the very first Morel after a long 15 seasons or so of looking!!

I kept on looking as I wanted atleast six for that firs taste of Morels after so long..... Didn't find another but I did fry that lone shroom up!

When was it burned?
