Summary: very morel-like!

You can see where someone could easily confuse this mushroom for a morel. Check your store-bought shrooms carefully!
The other verpa characteristic is that the morel-like cap is only attached at the top, and is not attached to the stem along the sides like a morel, a character that would become apparent when you sliced them for the table.
