False Morels
pianoman9701:
This is verpa bohemica. Edible and as stated above, don't eat a lot of them, especially the first time of the season. They're commonly called thimble caps because the cap sits on the stem like a thimble on a finger. The stem can be the source of digestive distress. When you harvest them, the stem breaks cleanly. Leave less than an inch under the cap. The stem isn't hollow and is unlike a true morel (morchella delisiosa, esculenta, etc.) in this way. With a true morel, the cap and stem are connected and hollow.
Bigshooter:
Has anyone been finding any verpas or morels? I'm starting to get excited about getting out and looking for some.

We are done with the Verpas in the low elevation in Marysville. Been done for a week or so where we were picking.
