r/Morels

I’ve been watching a small patch near my urban home grow and today they look like this. The cap feels quite hard. I’m wondering if they are now “overripe” or would you still eat them at this stage.

~2weeks ago SE MI. All gone now for the season. RIP. Time to figure out how to make my own colony. This was dinner for 2 families.

NY state zone 5b
Found on a stroll in my yard during Now Mow May! What do you think?

Just a gardener. Was going to take out an unhappy rhodedendron and found these fellas under it. Just the two. Should I leave it for the morels? Or could I carefully remove it and they would be okay? Thanks in advance!

Out for a dog walk close to downtown of all places.

Nice haul of fresh morels!

First time seeing these pop up in my backyard.

Are they real edible morels?

The three lighter colored ones were found in a different patch to the others. All have hollow stems.

We need another good spot of rain in my usual spot; things were quite dry today, but still found around 150 morels (other ~50 are in my dad's orange bag on the right there). Some of these were a bit dry, but we still found some nice ones.

The usual spot at my in-laws' place provides once again!

Anyone else feeling absolutely skunked this season around the Pigeon River Valley (Haywood county)?

I’ve been hunting every 4-6 days in an area that’s 95% North-facing… The areas has been productive in the past, but due to lack of consistent rain, I’ve found more ticks and chiggers than I’ve found mushrooms… I’m afraid my season is slipping away!

Anyone else having any luck around here?

Second time finding them.can anyone tell me what kind of morels they are

I have never seen or forraged a morel before and I'm aware of the danger of misidentification so I'm content to pass on this first time find if there is even a shred of doubt. What do y'all think?
