In the Midwestern United States, mid-spring through early summer is the season for the much prized morel mushroom. Presented here for your enjoyment by Books By Netsifters!
Dead and Gone - This specimen has lost it's cap and dried up, but the purpose was served: spore dispersal.
There are two morel mushrooms in this picture - in the wild they can be equally hard to see.
A small sampling of brown and gray varieties - better luck next year!
