Hello- I thought Morels were called "Land Fish" not because they taste like fish, rather because when fishermen go fishing they sometimes find Morels INSTEAD of fish... so when they go back home they can say "we only caught Land Fish". —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.113.205.130 (talk) 16:06, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Yup, I'm pretty sure thats the reason some people call them that. I'm sort of shocked no one has mentioned the name that I Hear them called in Kentucky & Tennessee, "Peckerheads".Paganize (talk) 02:39, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi, The image that was formerly up on the Morel page was in fact not a morel, but in the verpa genus, which can be dangerous to consume. I tried to change the image, but it didn't work, so now there's no image! Can someone with more experience post an appropriate image here?

How about the one I've posted, though I ate it already? Was it edible?-ComSpex 08:50, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

That one doesn't look like any morel I've seen. --Evice 00:10, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

What is that about Miley Cyrus?? Could we have a source if it is true?

[edit] Morchella as a cash crop

Could we add more information about the Value of Morchella Mushrooms, I think I read some place that they can be worth a lot of Money, I think it would be worth addiding what a lb of Morchella Mushrooms cost. Max 15:51, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Merger of dryland fish

As far as I can tell, the dryland fish is merely a common name for morel, so I would support a merge. Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 13:43, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
