Pretty sure that all morels are safe to eat. They do have different colors from Yellow, grey, brown. My dad likes the darker ones the best and I think they are just older. I have some darker colored ones in my pile and the grey and darker brown ones are firmer and I am guessing had popped earlier. This afternoon I will try to investigate further but there were a few of the yellowish ones that were more moist and I believe that they must have just come out.
Northeast Branch, along the colesville road. The trail down from the old dam site.
Lolol FML. We searched the same trail just opposite ends and i found nothing.
Thanks for that. I’m heading to some private land about 75 acres here in a bit. Let’s hope i don’t get skunked. Honestly i just want like 10 to try and I’ll be good.
Also side bar. I once walked from Brookside gardens to about 200 yards away from the dam but thought it was further so i turned around. 200 f’n yards from walking that whole damn trail and i turned around. I still feel stupid about that.

Wife, dog and I have been spending a lot of time in Wheaton Regional lately, on and off trail. Nada. A fair number of deer, though, and more humans than I'd expect. Good eating, once the meat supply dries up.
While out for a walk, my wife and daughters found this one growing on the edge of the driveway yesterday afternoon.
When looking for Morels look for Elm trees (Especially Slippery Elm). That’s where I find 95% of Morels. I think the Elms release certain nutrients back in the soil that Morels need... kinda like how Sugar Maple, Tulip Poplar, & Black Walnut leave calcium in their leaves and when they fall off the tree they decompose, putting calcium right back into soil.
Wild mushrooms scare the bejesus out of me. I know if I went morel hunting, I'd pick the wrong ones and kill myself.
