Found a nice bunch of them last night. The largest was as big as a dollar bill. Unreal. If you don't look, you won't find!

Congrats!

I haven't looked in my yard yet... I remember finding at least a quasi-morel there but I forget if it was real or not.

Didn't eat it.

For the sake of identification, if the BOTTOM of the cap attaches to the stem, you have a true, edible morel. If the cap is free in any way, just discard it.

There are "half free" morels but for the beginner the risk of confusing them with a Verpa are too great (Verpas will make you sick - probably won't kill you, but not worth it).
