This is a nice red or false morrel mushroom a little bigger than a baseball. One of five we've found since Friday. 

How were those?

I have always worried about false morels (Gyromitra esculenta). They can contain monomethylhydrazine (rocket fuel ingredient) and eaten in sufficient quantity can cause severe distress and even death. Thorough cooking in an open pan or drying is reported to drive off the toxin. Don't ever eat one raw.

Manage 80 acre tree farm in central Missouri and Mesquite timber and about a gozillion saguaros in Arizona.

This one was larger than my hand.  Those cotton like fibers peel right off.

Yes,  it's said that they are poisonous.   But we soak them in salt water and then fry them. Both actions drive off the poison.  Plus it's said that you build up a tolerance.   Never hurt me or mine none.

There are small cavities but are more solid than air.

My sister went by Tractor Supply parking lot and there were two men there saling white mushrooms for $20/half pound. Said they found over 100 pounds of mushrooms along the Missouri River.  They were searching from a boat.  Said they sold out in 1/2 hour.

I think I'll go fiddlehead searching today. I never saw any up 2 days ago, but it's sure been warm. So they must be up. I have a patch right near the road, 2 steps off the road and start pick'n. :D

  Here in northern Ohio I've been looking now for a few days and today I saw your post and decided to look some more, well, hello hello, I found some.  I did leave maybe 20 or more as they were still small.  I think some of the really small ones may be the big yellows yet to pop.

I had one that was put out by the Ontario government and it went into which could be eaten. Audubon and probably Peterson have a guide book, but I'm not sure if they go into edibility.

Morels are very easily identified. They look like a sponge and are hollow. They come in grey black brown and giant yellow. Normally only occur in spring when the redbuds bloom. We find them around elm and apple trees. The only other mushroom I hunt are the giant puffballs that come out in the fall
