	False morel - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The False morel (Gyromitra esculenta), also known a variety of common names such as Lorchel, Brain fungus, Red mushroom or Beefsteak mushroom, is a poisonous ascomycete fungus somewhat similar in appearance to the "true" morel (Morchella sp.).
		False morels are irregularly shaped, resembling a brown brain, while the true morel is more symmetric and looks more like a pitted gray, tan, or brown sponge.
		The edibility of the false morels is disputed.

	The Great Morel - False Morels
		Research also points out there are various species of false morels that grow around the world, and while some may not be as toxic as others, it is wise to understand this and to do your own research wisely.
		False morels are not hollow, which is the most definite tip that you have stumbled up one of these ugly bad boys.
		The false morel shown in this image is also quite heavy as it is almost solid in the stem and meaty, and often referred to as "cottony".

		The pits on morels are not, on very close inspection, symmetrical, but they are very regular when compared to the lobed, wavy, brain-like structure of the false morel cap.
		False morels frequently (though not always!) have reddish brown shades.
		I have seen yellow morels develop red stains, especially in age (the stain usually begins as a stripe on the stem and then grows), and when morels are growing under pine.

	Morel
		Morels should always be eaten cooked as raw may cause in some people such allergic reactions as dizziness and mild tremors when consumed at the same time as alcohol.
		False morel belongs to the same family as the true morels, but needs to be treated with extreme caution.
		None of the false morels have a cap which is both pitted and integral with the stem like a true morel, but there is such a resemblance that casual inspection leads to mistakes.

	False morel
		Mushroom experts from outside Scandinavia are frequently shocked to discover that the deadly toxic false morel (Gyromitra esculenta) is regarded as a delicacy in the Nordic countries, where it is sold commercially and regularly consumed.
		In spite of this, false morels should probably not be eaten at all in most parts of the world.
		False morels can be dried until crisp, but this must be done in a well-ventilated space, preferably outside the living quarters, to avoid the toxic fumes.

	Introduction: Morels & False Morels (MOREL MUSHROOMS at MushroomExpert.Com)
		False morels grow almost everywhere that morels grow.
		Mushroom author David Arora writes that false morels "have puzzled scientists for years because of the very narrow threshold between complete absence of discomfort and severe poisoning or even death" (893).
		The only intelligent decision to make about false morels is to admire their beauty and move on; no person in his or her right mind should knowingly eat a false morel.

		The giant snowbank false morel, or calf’s brain, is often found near snowline in the spring.
		Morel mushrooms (Genus Morchella) have a complex life cycle that is still the subject of much scientific study.

	Morels of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan
		Morels are delicious wild mushrooms, simple to identify, fairly easy to find, and generally safe to eat.
		The easiest way to distinguish these species from members of the morel family is to remember that the head of a false morel is never both hollow on the inside and sponge-like on the outside.
		Furthermore, the surface of the head is usually brighter in color than that of a morel, often some shade of dull red, red brown, or yellow brown.

		Morels are distinctive, but an inexperienced hunter could be confused by the false morel that is sometimes poisonous.

	Gyromitra esculenta, false morels, Tom Volk's Fungus of the Month for May 2002
		Gyromitra esculenta is one of several common species of false morels found in the spring about the same time as the true morels.
		In our area we usually find false morels rather close to fallen logs, where a microniche of moisture, humidity, and shade is likely to be found, but there is quite a bit of variability in their habitat.
		False morels should be considered to be poisonous and should probably not be eaten in most parts of the world.

	Morel Tips
		Spring is springing and the first scattered reports of morel finds have begun to dribble in from around the Midwest, and this annual renewal is the signal for most outdoors mavens to head for the woods.
		Morels have to have moisture to thrive, and the first warm nights are always good stimulators.
		Although morels are very distinctive are hard to mistake for something else, there is one fungus called the false morel that is toxic.

		The early "red mushroom" is a false morel and cannot be classified with the true morels.
		The false morels are in the Lorchel family and differ in size, color, shape and spore characteristics.
		Morels almost always increase in size as they age, but their growth depends on the moisture, temperature and fertility of the soil.

	Ashland Daily Tidings :: Online Edition
		There are three main groups of morels (love these names): Morchella esculenta – the yellow morel usually found in the Midwest, Morchella deliciosa – the rare white or tan morel and Morchella elata – the fl morel usually found here in the Pacific Northwest.
		False morels resemble fl morels but their cap is more deeply folded and smooth and not fused to the stem.
		Morels are fantastic by themselves; however, I like adding a touch of acid to brighten their flavor and fresh, savory, mild herbs, like chervil, parsley or even tarragon, to enhance the earthy aromatic element.

	Michigan is Amazing - Post details: The $200-per-pound mushroom
		For you non-foodies, a morel is a rare mushroom that can be found in northern Michigan and a few other places around the country.
		According to Michigan Morels, there are no real “rules” as to where to find morels, but they are typically found in moist areas, around dead or dying elm, sycamore and ash trees, or old apple orchards.
		False morels are almost always identical to the real thing, but eating one can be poisonous if it's fully cooked, deadly if it's raw.
