I found this nice looking COTW while kayaking the other day growing on a downed tree in the middle of the river.

Interesting, I've never heard of morels called dryland fish. I can see it from a taste perspective. We don't have a psychedelic mimic of the morel but we have what we call a beefsteak which is the Gyromitra esculenta.

I was unclear- I didn’t mean a psychedelic version of morel.

I meant the different mushroom species commonly used for such purposes.
