This was one of only a few of this type of Morel that I found on this foray. I was in Lassen National Forest. It was a time when the State had no money to open all of the Campgrounds. It was actually very late in the season for Morels, but there's always something to find. Morels in the Sierras like disturbed areas as well as burns.

I went on a weekday. No one had begun to clean up the campgrounds where I was and so it was a successful hunt. The place hadn't been disturbed for half a year (since the last camping season). Almost all that I found were Black Morels but there was one batch of these blond Morels. What a pleasant surprise!
