I cream them just like you would cream fresh bean and have them over toast.

Any body eat false Morel Mushroom ?
False morels are toxic and can do serious harm. Do NOT eat them. Towards the end of the season the yellow morels get as big as coke cans. If you find them be careful because I've found false morels that could easily be mistaken for those. If you find HUGE yellow morels late in the season then return to the same spot late in the season the next year. They will likely be there and just as big too. It's all in the genes. Have also found early yellow morels that were pretty big but not near as big as the late ones. They come up in the same spot every year before all the others even start coming on. There are 5 kinds of morel mushrooms.

Actually, there are about 70 varieties of Morel Mushrooms! One common false Morel is called a STINK HORN! They look like a Morel in the early stage of growth, but get slimey and stink to high heaven when mature, and their toxic, but you wouldn't want to eat the stink'n things anyway!

It all depends on who you ask. This is just my opinion based on what I know personally and from info I have gleened and either accept or disregard. Various field guide have different opinions. I'll stick with 5 kinds of morels until someone disprove it or they all get together and change the books. There are 92 fungi on my list of found fungi in Indiana. Only a small few are edible and good. I've found 5 times as many I did not identify. Morels are fairly simple.
Morcella delicioso (added to my list last week) It grows in urban areas and I've found them in fall in construction sites!
M. elata
M. esculentas
M. liriodendron
M. semilibera
So I have white morels, black morels, yellow morels, peckerhead morels, and a small grey morel found under tulip trees on my list. There was another one that I've seen similar to one found in Poland or somewhere but I disregard it. My list is personalized not scientific because of the disagreement out there.
Yes those stinkhorns are nasty! Ewwww.

Ditto!
Had a friend from Missouri years back, that was a champeeeeeen Mushroom picker, and he would bring me some himdingers from time to time.
He could find some big-uns too!
He said the biggest one he ever got was so big, he cut it with a chainsaw, and when it fell, A sow and four piglets ran out from under it :surrender:
