See attached. I found these in my yard yesterday. What the heck is going on? Are the just old from spring? What are these potato ball things they are growing out of? No elms nearby.... mostly coniferous trees.

Those are not morels they look similar but morels only grow in the spring time.

I know this, as they appear older and rotten. I find it hard to believe theyre not morels though. I thought only false morels look the same, and these dont look like them. Experts?

probably one of the 2 stink horns near the center of my book more than likely the top one because it doesnt have a net around it

Good call! I didnt think these were in MN. So much for "only false morel looks like morel"... thanks very much
