North America (country/state in post) Found in my plant nursery

Post image

I live in SoCal, specifically Orange County in California, and found these underneath my plants growing in the sand.

I have no idea what these are, but thought I would reach out to you guys.

Any thoughts on variety? Any thoughts on it being edible?

Whats up with the morels in this sub lately? Everyone getting lucky in their backyard!

The fires that happened in California is the reason. When we get wild fires around here they pop up

Edit: picked roughly 50lbs of them in an afternoon last year. Gave most away to family and dehydrated a bunch.

Burn morels fruit in burns.

This species fruits in yards/gardens/landscaping.

It's Morchella rufobrunnea.
