They are all of the same family apparently. From what I have been reading they are very good eating.

Of course the true (edible) morels are all from the morchella genus, and as Winkler indicated in the link that you provided the taxonomy is not that clear but you don't live on the West Coast, so you have to rule out it being a tormentosa.  The black morel also grows where there was a fire the previous season.  Not too many where I live because the soil is acidic but I did find a handful while on a hike last Monday.  The previous week I gathered a batch of oyster mushrooms.  Can't wait for the rains in September and October when mushroom season takes place in earnest.  Last year I spent 23 days foraging in the forests.

They look like these...

Which we also, like 10.5 fried up and ate.
They are morels but don't go picking and eating mushrooms without an experienced person showing you the ropes.

Nice batch, I'm jealous.
