Sigh... yet more unwelcome fungal residents in our yard. This time, several phallic-looking morels, each with a thick shaft a couple of inches in diameter, in the leaf mulch in the side yard. The kids think they're weird... as long as they don't touch the things. Gah.

Is there any way to tell that they're really morels? Because if they are, I'd be perfectly happpy to get them off your property. I'd even be willing to share them with tenacious_snail, and not eat them in front of you. :)

They aren't verpas or brain-like... clearly yellow morels, IMO, but then I pay little attention to mushrooms other than to avoiding them ;^).

Oh! Amanda has a great book on mushrooms! In fact, so do I, but er, I'm not sure where it is.

Lots of pictures and the like. I was so jealous of the Europeans for just going out to collect mushrooms to eat. They weren't scared of getting the wrong kind or anything. They had seccrit knowledge!
