I used to live in Mesick, MI - claims to be "The Mushroom Capital". Lots of morels around there - the locals all have their favorite "secret" spots.
Every year - 2nd weekend in May is the Mushroom Festival. They have a Mushroom Parade, a Mushroom Queen, and lots of food & festivities, including a huge Flea Market.
Many of the locals even eat the "false morels", locally known as "caps" because the top comes off the stem. The stem and top of a true morel is all one piece (look closely at the picture posted above).
Most people get a little sick (or very sick) from eating the caps, but many who do consider it "worth it" (go figure) . I never tried them.
