'The 14 morels described below are based on DNA testing of morels sent in to the Morel Data Collection Project' mushroomexpert.com I am sure that I've picked morels that match all of the examples here in Washington State. Even the black foot morel is not unfamiliar. I would have thought that much of the variation was due to growing conditions and am a surpised that they are genetically distinguishable. edit The half-free morel is very different and tends to grow in wetter soil, especially around cottonwood trees. I have noticed before the difference between the black and yellow--with the vertical ridges on the former standing out. I am pretty sure that I've gathered both black and yellow in exactly the same area at the same time, and always imagined the difference to come from slightly better or wetter soil for the yellow morel. But now that I think about it more, I would often pick a box of morels that were nearly all black and other times a box of yellow. Feeling a very strong urge to go tramping around in the forest. It has been cool and showery this spring in the Cascades!
