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.
Yes. But this doesn't answer the question.

I agree with the others, Your previous photos show what mostly look like a pile Half-free morels (Morchella semilibera) and/or Verpas.

Note how the cap on many of your shrooms has a free bottom edge and inverts back up before attaching to the stalk.

Regardless, you have a pile of good eats.
Just be careful with the Verpas, special precautions on cooking and eating apply.
