With morel season approaching, and early birds already scouting, we figured it would be incentive to see this monster morel that was found alongside railroad tracks in Iowa in 2016.  Here’s the caption for the photo on Iowa Trophy Bucks:

Check out this massive morel that Kelly Young picked up along the railroad tracks south of Walnut, Iowa. The Iowa DNR says they’ve never recorded one this big. It weighs 1.5 lbs, it’s 15 inches high and 14 inches around. Photo credit: Iowa DNR.

For those Montana morel pickers, we hope you find some around this size!
