I think some people want to find morels so bad they get a sort of “buck fever” and convince themselves they’ve found one. That’s all I can imagine because to my eyes they would be hard to mix up. Same with chanterelle and false chanterelle. Like… sure, I guess if you are profoundly incautious.
I’m not informed enough to answer any of your questions about them. You should find a better source than my fuzzy memory. I just remember being warned about them since morel picking is fairly popular around where I live.
Can you show me some that would grow in the same areas next to dead elms? I’m unfamiliar with any and I’ve foraged for them a lot.
E: Looks like this has some info on False Morels further below. I’d have a difficult time mistaking one for the other myself but eh?
