Probably My son actually picked them and brought them to me. Hard to blame a 3 or 4 year old for not recognizing yard gold--lol.
Reminds me of the first time we tried planting roma tomatoes: we were so proud of those little plants, and ecstatic when cute little green teardrops emerged...until my oldest (3 or so at the time, himself) came running in with hands full of them, yelling, "Look, mommy! Magic beans!"
To be honest I'm not sure what the life cycle of the Morel is, but spores immediately came to mind (as did the Star Trek episode with the spores, but that is another story). Kids are awesome aren't they? Even when they bring you dandelions or a white clover it's always special (course mine are grown now so all I get are requests for money).
