Are there other kinds of mushrooms that resemble the morel?... I am heading out on a primitive camping trip in a week and coming upon some of those would be a real treat, I just dont want to eat something "thinking" it is a morel...

yes they are called false morels. they look identical except the stems aren't hollow. check out thegreatmorel.com or morel.com they have pics of both.

better be careful when picking mushrooms to eat....better know exactly what your lookin for, as most are poisonous or you could be allergic to them, even the safe to eat ones.

From everything I am reading it seems like as long as you dont eat any mushroom that fans out at the top (like an umbrella) then you should only really have to worry about the false morels. To keep from eating the false, just make sure the stem is hollow. Does this seem like correct statements to yall?
