All the ones I've ever found have been growing among privet hedges, and oaks no sycamores

here in VA i have two distinct habitats i hunt for morels: sandy soiled creek bottoms with mixed oak, sycamore, and paw paw and then mixed hardwood forests with very mature oaks & poplars.
i've heard of epic hauls from cedar groves but haven't seen any in that habitat. i bet they'd be super easy to spot popping up through a level bed of cedar duff.

just 2 hr north of atl theres forests of Sycamore Its 7 year droubt from 2003 to 2010 killed em all that were not loy lying irrigted or otherwise. Just in case I am the originator of the concept. "Extinction of of the sycamore In Atlanta, GA)
Don;t anyone dare!! Well I will share 1/2 credit if someone that can rite nicely can put tp
There fuck it I rewrote a combination of 2 or 3 articles to come up with this article
Atlanta's Sycamore Epidemic. By ..........
If you stand in the middle of Atlanta, 40-50 miles in each direction from that point marks the Epicenter of the extinction of every Sycamore tree that was not in a low lying wet or irrigated are. The good part, is 2 hours drive in any direction way from HOTLANTA, will reveal lush sycamore filled deciduous forest.
Vulcan, a major rock quarry, A subtle gradual loss of each of the 120 sycamore trees that surrounded the property. Dying and dead sycamores! Once stood proudly as our reminder that short people need to climb one of those if they are short and in a croud and Jesus is there... What once beautified the entire property now a pile of rubble.
Down town Norcross 3 miles away from Vulcan. a 287 year old sycamore in 2007 had to be removed due to dangerous dying and dead branches due to the lack of rain. The well irrigated areas where Sycamores are close to water bodies are still thriving!
From the early years, Uncharacteristically copper colored springtime and summer sycamore leaves started from 2004-2006. Then eventually, turns to wood rot and eventual structural failure leaving blanketed residential death in all of Atlanta. The patches of fading green that dappled the areas at first 2003 then it was too late, all of the Sycmore trees died. Every single one 2003-2005 have merged into an unbroken eerie stillness gives way to the muffled sound of munching as mother nature chomps through one tree after another, thousands after thousands.
This is the look — and the sound — of drought.

Found a lonely yellow(?) morel yesterday under some yellow poplars. Weird looking little guy, but happy to finally find one.

No it's not a false morel. If you can tell differences they look completely different

I was suspicious at first too. But it's hollow, unlike a false morel, and the cap is completely attached. It's just a weird looking morel with the cap all bent over like that.
