Are there Morel Mushrooms in Louisiana?

I don't trust my identity skills enough for picking mushrooms. It was just something I was taught as a kid and army survival training reinforced.

They say only 10% or so of all the existing species are poisonous, but what are the odds that I won't find 100% of that 10%?

Yes, they grow here but they are rare. I know a feller in west fel parish who has some secret spots for them

West feliciana parish has them. I've been on property as a guest where the owner found two small ones the day before. She showed them to me so I can verify. That said, I've spent a lot of time looking in various places up here and come up empty. Chanterelles on the other hand...
