djg Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 I've been losing spots to development over the years and I was about to give up today. On my third small spot I ran onto these beauties, albeit a little old. Largest was 8-1/2". Found 35 around one tree in a 8 ' x 8' patch. Best find ever. Many were in the 6" range. I call them just yellow Morels, but I don't know if there is a large variety or not. I started cutting them and then decided to go back to my truck and grab my camera. These cut ones were found in the frame of this picture. Tightest grouping I've ever found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby b Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 Usually called M. americana, good eating. Too many, you can dry them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djg Posted April 28, 2022 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 Thanks. How do you distinguish M. americana from M. esculentoides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby b Posted April 28, 2022 Report Share Posted April 28, 2022 That's listed as a synonym. So it's not used any more. M. ulmaria is a look alike in your area but can't be distinguished without microscopy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
