The most F'd up morel(s) I've ever seen 3

So a friend and I went back to the site in Seattle where I scored pretty big last weekend. We got a half grocery bag full, not too bad [but still amazing for being in the city limits right now].
I wanted some pics of the ones growing on concrete and through various other barriers. Some of these didn't make it into the 'good to eat' category, but I still think they're photo-worthy and quite amazing.
This ended up being the biggest. . .had to excavate all these from that small gap in the concrete:
Though it's a little hard to tell, these had almost no soil between them and the concrete. Undoubtedly there's some crack leading down underneath, but it's still something I've never seen before:
These were *growing* off of fucking insulation or some shit. It appeared to be fiberglass with some kind of tar paper backing. Didn't make it into the edible stack!
We found this one struggling to make its way from underneath a piece of broken glass. Broken glass, "typical morel habitat" 
Woops, dropped my pen. . .oh, what's this?
We found a lot in these crevices. In fact, most all we found were within a food of these concrete bases.
Perhaps the concrete helped keep the ground warm, since it's only been a high of the mid 50's the past month.
This was in the last patch we found. Check this goddam thing out. It's a morel that grew up through some kind of skull toy, bracelet, keychain, something like that. It got caught in it as it was growing and just kept on going! It has been girdled by it! A fucking skull! With JEWELED EYES!
Yep, no question. The most fucked up mushroom ever

Great day for hunting! Compared with last weekend, there were a number that fell into the questionable category, just based on what they were growing on/around. The site isn't a toxic dump, just an area that has had some recent deconstruction doing on. Still pretty amazing.

Yeah, the chain is all rusty too, and has some disgusting fibrous crap imbedded in it. Not an eater for sure. It should retain the skull after drying and make a fine rearview mirror decoration.
