It's "sycamore". There, now you know. From all my "research", including the mushroom message boards and even contacting mycology professors at VA Universities, the morels in this state are mostly in the piedmont/mountainous areas. I'm in the coastal plain.
Oddly enough, in my nursery we grow sycamores, white ash, American elm and tulip poplars. All associated with morels. Oh the injustice of it all.
We have collected several other species of mushrooms through the years to satisfy my craving somewhat, but nothing compares to morels imho.
