Can anyone identify with certainty that these mushrooms are Morels? I picked them today and feel that that they are. Thank you

Those look like False Morels. Word of caution, always err on the safe side when it comes to mushrooms. If you are not 100 percent sure then do not take a chance.
Most morels are off white and more roundAttachment 335665

I would have to say no those are not morels

Those are definitely false morels. Will have a solid stem when you split them. True morels have a hollow stem.
I agree withsweathermon. Nitrojh has a correct picture of a morel.
Thank you for all the responses. I researched and agree that these are false morels. Apparently very toxic and can be deadly. Still on the search for my first morel pick, maybe someday...

I cut up morels and put them in Italian dishes or steaks that you would normally use button mushrooms for.

Did you find those today redge? We looked for a couple hours Friday and couldn't find any was wondering if the cooler nights had shut them down?

For the OP, true morels have a hollow center. False morels will have webbing in the center.
We scored some Tuesday.

I started looking for morels 3 years ago and finally found them every time I went out this April- under big cedars. As we drove by one of my holes today I told my wife I’m looking forward to hunting em this spring. She agreed that she looks forward to eating them, which is good because I will need someone to pick off the ticks. Thought the false morel finders might appreciate a look at the insides.
Now you made me hungry Ciller! Love me some morels!
