Yesterday I was at Byerly's and saw that they had morels for sale. Three point five ounces of mushrooms so raggedy and dried-out that, had I found them in the woods, I would have left them to rot. The price? $19.99. That's not the per pound price, that's for 3.5 ounces!
So, today, I am going out again, my pant legs soaked with DEET for the ticks, and an optimistic number of bags to be filled. Wish me luck.

Pete,
I was out yesterday afternoon and found nothing but false morels. Do you think it might still be too dry?
There's a lot of moisture in the soil right now. I think what we've been missing is warm, humid nights. I found some today - enough for a meal - but scattered, and of poor quality.
