I’ve been looking for morels with no success. Looks like they are later than usual this year. Maybe after a weekend of rain there will be more around. Today, I took a drive up to a forest I forage in during the summer. All I found was a false morel.

The bottom of the cap isn’t attached to the stem. The stem is very thick. The cap is highly irregular, appearing as a lump in the forest.

I did, however, enjoy a nice hike in a beautiful forest.

Salvelinas tells me the mushroom pictured looks like Gyromitra esculenta.
