False Morel

This is one of the False Morels (Gyromitra sp.), a poisonous species found growing in woodlands in the northern US. I personally don't think it looks much like a true morel, but apparently it has been mistaken for them in the past. Photographed in mid May on the shore of Mountain Lake in the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness, northern Minnesota.
