A little over a week ago, I was up in the mountains with my foraging books and found a mushroom...the mushroom you're posting about (I believe), but the funny thing is, my foraging book, "Edible Wild Plants and Useful Herbs: A Falcon Guide," listed the Wood Ear mushroom on the forager's dozen mushrooms...and the picture looked JUST like the False Morel! Yikes! Here's a picture of me comparing the mushroom I found to the picture of the mushroom in their guide. MOREL of the story, be careful, do the research, and give thanks to informative posts like this one!
