Mes-7 (Morchella prava)Observer

New Perspective: I am not comfortable with fungi at all. How would I distinguish Morchella prava (https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/629239-Morchella-prava) from Morchella americana (https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/214405562)? Is it possible from these images? I can see that this observation is of an individual with more convoluted, less vertical, ridge structure. The specimen was found in a mixed forest zone along a creek at about 7200'. The stream floods with the monsoons so the soil is quite sandy. Ponderosa Pine, Gambel Oak, and willows.
Original Post: Possibly Gyromitra montana or Gyromitra esculenta? (But ridges are much deeper and are blistered at the top.) Similar to Morchella steppicola which is a European species. Note the blistered ridges, but stem does not have flutes in the individual shown here.
Originally found by Véronique De Jaegher and Linda King on May 5.

Burn morels
I believe that they fruited sometime in May just after the snow melted at 9200ft elevation.

I think fumosa versus adusta, but I am not 100% certain how to differentiate between the two,
