Birds, Brews, and Shrooms

As always, visiting my parents was a good time. Notable events? I witnessed two juvenile Mourning Doves fledge. Split a six pack of homebrew with my dad. And was shown an interesting little thing in the yard:

Morel? Maybe, but I'm not touching it. I mean, I'm an adventurous and fungi, morel less, but the thought of just picking/eating this kinda scares the shiitake out of me. I just don't know how to accurately identify these things, and there's really not mushroom for error. Hey-oohhh.

i'm pretty sure thats a golden morel.

false morels look different, and will only make you sick, generally won't kill you if you eat them.

i'm no expert tho, but i have picked and eaten morels before.

It's twice as big as you saw it, but it is broken at the root level. I also think it is the real thing. To eat or not to eat....
