Mycology in Yard

After days of rain and now summer temperatures, the backyard is producing morels. It is easy to spot these critters in the yard, but not so easy in the leaf litter as shown below.

It is always cool to see these guys in the backyard. This has been a good period for collecting morels. The temperatures have been in the high 80's and, with all the previous mosture, the fungi have flourished. Folks around here have easily been collecting morels by the 100's.
