Title: Morel identification Help!
Post by: Cut*N*Run on May 08, 2011, 01:28:07 PM
Just looking for some help here. I found these by complete accident in the backyard. I've never picked wild mushrooms before, but I do recognize these.

Just looking for verification that these are the good morels and not the false ones before I cook supper.

The easiest way to make sure that you have a true morel is that it will be hollow, just like the one's in your pictures. Those are nice looking "true" morel mushrooms you have, enjoy your feast! :icon_thumright:

Yes those are true Morels . They are hollow and the top is connected to the stem.False Morels the top is not connected to the stem it's like a umbrella. Enjoy !!!!

Yup those are the real ones Yummy. Look up Brain mushrooms or false mushrooms. They have a simular outside texture but they dont have the shape of a morel.

DO NOT EAT THOSE! They are not good for human consumption! Please send them to me in a  plastic baggie with a damp paper towel on some ice and I will dispose of them properly for you  :angel9:
