@fascinatedbyfungi: “Is that a morel?” Morels (Morchella) are Ascomycete mushrooms with a conical shaped caps coveted deep honey comb holes. The inside is completely hollow, no pith, no folds. Hunting for morels can be extremely tricky, one because they are tempermental and need just the right conditions and habitat to fruit, but also because they can be darn tricky to spot! The texture and color of morels helps them blend in with the forest floor, making every single stick, pine cone, and leaf look like a potential mushroom to the excited mushroom hunter. With careful observation, practice, and good lighting you can spot morels from a distance, but this is a skill you need to develop. Here’s a video to help you get your head into morel hunting mode as the season kicks off here in California. . . . . #morel #morels #morchella #morelmushrooms #mushroomhunter #mushroomforaging #morelseason #foragetok #wildmushrooms #mycology
