I've been finding morel mushrooms in my front yard recently. Thanks to my dad's woodsy skills, he made the connection that the massive Siberian Elm cut down in 2008 is the source of the mushrooms.
I found the first one almost 2 weeks ago while cleaning out the trench in my new front planting bed. I believe an animal got it and abandoned it.
Last Saturday...same trench, I found 1 more to pick, and 1 fresh one that got picked & left by an animal.
The next day (Easter Sunday), I picked 3 more in other parts of the front lawn. I cooked them.
Today (2 days later), I picked 1 more.
That makes 7 total. The picture is the one I picked today.
Of course I cooked it. Fried in butter. Little salt. Ava liked it. She took 1 bite and asked for more.

What is the connection between elm trees and this type of mushroom?

Dead elms are good places where morels grow. If you Google some words about "where to find morels" and similar words, the sources pretty much all talk about elms.
