Morels in Oregon

Well it is Morel season! I have been going out the past couple of weeks and first you find what looks like a morel but it is actually called a Verpa. It is a false morel. A true morel has the cap connected all the way down the stem. The false have a cap that is only attached to the top of the stem like most mushrooms. They grow under Cottonwood trees along river beds. If you are into making some extra money on the Morels, get out there! I saw it on Cash and treasures along with the truffle hunts. I have been collecting them both ever since and making "EXTRA CASH" 1  out of 1 found this valuable. Do you?

Yeah they are fun to hunt. I try to get out every Saturday with my daughter and find something new. I hear that as the season progresses they move to higher ground.
Do you find this valuable?
