This is known as a "false morel".

The true morel (Morchella) is also a spring mushroom but is deeply pitted
(not convoluted and brain-like) and is roughly somewhat conical shaped.
Grows wild here during about a 3-week period in April.  We feasted on a
pound of wild yellow morels this year.  There's also a black variety that
grows here.
