They grow up to six inches wide and four inches tall. True morels, by contrast, are more symmetrical, conical and slender. Monthey describes esculenta, reaches five inches in height. The black morel, another edible true morel, grows to only three inches in height --The false morels are reddish brown and become even darker as they age. The common true morel is usually light brown, varying from grayish brown to yellowish brown.

The black morel is also light brown, but has dark ridges. It turns blackish brown overall as it ages. -The cap of true morels contain deep pits. The pits of the common true morel are rounded, although irregular. Those of the black morel are elongated and arranged in vertical rows.

The false morels are smoother and lobed, like brains. The cap of the false morels is attached only at the top of the stem. That of true morels is a more integral part of the mushroom. Both the cap and the stem of true morels is hollow. Those of the false morels contain some scattered chambers but are otherwise solid.

Some false morels are edible. But Monthey advises beginners against collecting any of them because of the risk of picking harmful ones. DR.

Mushroom Collectors Beware False Morels Can Be Lethal You're 1 The world is yours, now that you've earned your diplomas, GradsI LuckI Senate Majority Leader Tim Cullen (D-Janesville) has introduced legislation which would allow students to attend the vocational, technical and adult education school located geographically nearest their residence. For example, a student residing in Sharon would be able to attend Blackhawk Technical Institute in Janesville rather than traveling the distance to Gateway Technical Institute in Kenosha. Sharon is 65 miles from Kenosha, whereas, Janesville is only 22 miles from Sharon. Under the current law a non resident can attend another districts schools only if the program in which the student is enrolled is not offered by the district of residence.

The fruiting period for the conifer false morel is almost over, so mushroom hunters are unlikely to collect many yet this year. But many people dry mushrooms for later use, so the potential for poisoning still exists.

Monthey says he knows from talking to people at wild food workshops around the state that some people have collected conifer false morels this year. Usually its a matter of not distinguishing the false morels from true morels. Gyromitra false morels can be distinguished from true morels by shapL color, surface structure and other features: '-The false morels are usually by Larry Mon they Novice mushroom collectors should add false morels to the list of mushrooms to avoid, according to Larry Monthey. University of Wisconsin Cooperative Extension Service wild food specialist The most common of these mushrooms is the conifer false morel, so named because it is common pine woods, although it also grows around poplar and birch It is also called pine morel and brain morel. Some people know it by the German name lorchel.

Its scientific name is Gyromitra esculents. Two other species of Gyromitra false morels also grow in Wisconsin. All three species Monthey says. These mushrooms potential for harm may come as a surprise to people who have eaten them for years without ill effects, the wild food specialist says. Actually, these -false morels are not nearly as poisonous as some mushrooms.

Eaten in small amounts, and only occasionally, the false morels may cause no noticeable harm. But larger amounts, consumed frequently, can make people sick. Large meals of false morels on three or four sequential days could even be lethal, Monthey says. Gyromitra false morels have been in the questionable category for some time. They have been connected to occasional poisonings, although these incidents have usually been blamed on old spoiled mushrooms.

But in the past two or three years, scientists have found a poisonous substance in the conifer false morel, the Extension specialist says. Its a chemical relative of monomethyl hydrazine, a component of rocket fuel.
