Vepa's stem is usually filled with a cotton-like fluffy fibrous material that you won’t find in a true morel. If in doubt, throw it out.

I agree these are true morels in this photo, but these are different than most (or all) seen in your first picture of the pile. Either way, nice haul, and morels can't be far behind if you're finding this many verpa!
