It’s a cocorra (Amanita vernicocorra). Thick and cottony remnant and striations on the cap margins are the key identifiable features in my area. My first in the wild. I left it.
The lower (western) area of the Caldor Fire, near placerville, is going off. A friend that lives nearby, collected 3.5lbs in 30 minutes.

Today I added a Yellow Field Cap while walking the dogs. Also found more dead shit in this given area than any spring previous. Nature had her fangs out this winter.

Took a lunchtime stroll and finally connected. Found four larger morels in a single spot and that's it. Ironically the smallest one was what caught my eye. Pretty black for around these parts.
Soil was 62F, Moisture a solid 2.0

You should invest in a dehydrator. You're no beginner. Screens are for the folks who pick with plastic shopping bags.
Also, mesh bags are adequate for scrounging up less than 2lbs of naturals. IMHO, the shrooms really suffer when you pack too many into a bag. The sides pull in crushing the morels and coarse mesh is like a cheese grater when the bag is full. A drilled out bucket is the only way to go for burn picking. Supports the weight, protects from impacts and can be clipped to your pack. You'll never see a commercial picker using a bag and for good reasons.Last edited by neckdeep; 06-15-2023 at 09:51 AM.

I actually ordered one last night.
I've been hesitant because one of my very favorite things about morel hunting is the simplicity relative to all of my other pursuits. I grab my hiking boots, bug spray, water bottle, pocket knife and mesh sack and bam, I'm in the game. Compare that to the kits I use for backcountry hunting, skiing, fishing or biking and it's a beautiful thing.
But yeah, I gave in knowing I can now dehydrate a ton of food for all the other adventures!

Filled another bag today. Going to test drive the dehydrator tomorrow.
