Between work and pickin' the last few weeks I haven't been on the pc to much. Last week of April I found over 100 small greys.Since May first found a mix of nice greys and yelllows just undre 20 pounds.The ones I found yesterday were a little moldy and old. Might try one more time in the next few days but I think it is near the end!CC
Found this one this morning by a dying black cherry tree. Soil temp was 54 degrees. You think it just popped or popped during a previous warm spell and then stopped growing when it cooled down?

I wouldn't say its false. It could be a black morel, which would be very uncommon for your area. It could be false, or it could be a yellow that has more vertical ridges. Wait and see...
Yeah, you're right...technically they are a Morchella Semilibera, or "half free" as they are commonly known because of how the cap is attached to the stem.
Definitely a young half free or "peckerhead". People have certain tolerances to them but my family and I will eat the decent ones we find each year. Good find though because morels are usually close by.
Got out with my aunt who was super excited to find her first morel. Glad the hour drive paid off. A few were drying up which sucks to see. Some more rain would help.
