Morel found in the yard!

Today I was walking around the yard and found this morel mushroom by the driveway. If I recall correctly it is the fourth one found here, thought more than twice as big as any we have found

Morel,  Morchella deliciosa
You know I have really large hands.

 
I know these edible mushrooms are more common in the mountains. I looked online and they sell for $155 a pound. Going to eat it as soon I  figure out how to cook it.

So far here in the yard we have found three edible (tasty) mushroom species; Golden Chanterelles, Oyster Mushrooms and Morels.
