This season for me was always southeast slopes near water and dead elms. It was so dry. I did find some bigfoots at the end. First time for me and they were 8-10 inches long(no pun intended.)
Every micro-climate is different, and every year is different. In my first reply, I was trying to imply that perhaps you were finding a smaller species. But when you say it was "so dry", that leads me to believe that maybe they just matured small that year. Temperature and humidity regulate the development of the fruitbodies. All they want to do is make spores. If heat and low humidity threaten to dry out the mushroom, it just matures at whatever size it is at the moment. cheers!
Uhm. The pun is in there, somewhere, begging to come out.
I don't know how big yours are, but I know my midwest trompings often produced this diminutive little delicate yellow morel that I think is best called Morchella deliciosa, as opposed to Morchella esculenta, which is a larger mushroom. I found plenty of esculenta in Michigan, Ohio and Indiana, though... Where (what kind of habitat, trees, etc. ) did you find your small yellows?
You tell me where you found those RIGHT NOW!!!!! ;) But seriously, where are they? :)

I live in Oregon, and when I was younger I used to go picking those with my dad.

From SW WI,
Would take me a full day to find a yield like that!
And the size! Guess it's the difference in climate.

Why are yours bigger than ours in Minnesota?
