While at a client's location, I noticed this sizable morel coming from the bottom of this burn pile. 😍

A common technique for finding morels is to visit an area of forest that burned two years prior.

Morel mycellium are mycorrhizal (they live in/on plant root systems), and continue living after the burn. When they realize their necessary companion, the tree, is dead, they grow fruiting bodies (mushrooms) that can send spores to areas that have proper habitat to continue the species.
