Wow. Worth more than silver! I found just one in Colorado.

Wild forest mushrooms, prepared by someone who knows how to cook them are incredibly good. They are very $$ in the stores. Your lucky day!

Were the elms still alive? If so, it tends to prove that these particular morels are mycorrhizal: in symbiotic association with the elm trees.

Yes most were still alive. some were growing around large hedge and cottonwoods, all on the flats, at the bottom of the hills, near pools of water
