"Morchella rufobrunnea, described from Mexico's Gulf Coast in 1998, is supported as a genetically distinct species; it also occurs in winter and early spring in landscaping areas in coastal California and Oregon. Unlike many of the morel species DNA has determined, it has physical and ecological features that make it easy to distinguish. It appears to be the mushroom described by many western field guide authors as "Morchella deliciosa."
Landscaping type morels are supposedly easier to cultivate than the other Morchella species (elata, esculenta etc).

the Hooper FARM people just came by a little while ago and partly harvested one of the larger patches. Here's what they sent me
 
I told them that looks about right, altho they'll get a little bigger if they want, but that's about a good starting point to compare with the others coming up, for taste/texture. They can pick a little earlier or later, whatever seems the best
they cut about half of the most mature clump. 1/1/2 pounds which means the whole clump is now 3 pounds and there's four more clumps coming up next week

Yellow Morels can show up in the damnedest places. 2 years ago, I found a small patch fruiting out of some hard-packed, dirt/gravel mix directly in front of an old dog house in a junk yard. A few days later, another small patch under my front door step. Last year, my wife and I collected pounds of black morels at a recent burn site in the sierras. IF they smell bad, chances are they are bad. Morels smell like sweet almonds...

I like the rain!! All I had was my phone when I found them so hope you can see. They had nice color varriations.
 I know I know sue me I had no scissors.
I found a huge patch of mycelium right next to theese in a bike path. People had been riding right over it. I took some derbis and gave it a little cover. But with the rain it is now a mud hole

The rain! I can't wait to make it down to the bay on Thursday! My first hunt in the bay was successful and I had the most amazing trip with the few mushrooms I found. Hopefully I can find more this time and have some in hand when the season is over.

Hail? Hail naw blood! I was busy trying to keep the fire stoked by headlamp. Power was out for 8 hours here in the S.C. mountains. Nice finds happening out there. If it wasn't for my cold, I'd be out today. Tomorrow is on the works. Gotta love being unemployed.

Wow nice find! Can't believe the variety of top-notch edibles popping up right now. Seems like they are all fruiting, some outside of their normal season.
