svs Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 I am pretty confident that this is a Yellow Morel but please confirm just to be sure. Found this for the first time in New Jersey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowguy Posted April 14, 2019 Report Share Posted April 14, 2019 I’m a new member so I’ll hold any thoughts as to I’d but what part of nj? Don’t want location North South or Central would be vague enough I’d hope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave W Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 Probably the classic North American Yellow Morel species, Morchella americana (previously M. esculenta and briefly M. esculentoides). Up here in NE PA I checked a spot for early morels today (eastern NA Black Morels, M. angusticeps). None yet. But I saw some Devil's Urns (Urnula craterium), a species which generally fruits about one week in advance of the Black Morels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svs Posted April 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 Thank you Dave, I do not remember seeing Devil's Urns in NJ but I will pay attention now. Do they like similar habitats as Morels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted April 15, 2019 Report Share Posted April 15, 2019 I find the Devil's Urns in hardwood forests where Black Morels are also found. Seeing the urns lets me know that --as long as the weather cooperates-- the morels are no more than one week away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
