They look like poisonous toad stoles to me!
I from the midwest and as kid picked many morel's for extra income (in 60's 5 bucks pound was easy money for kid that was in the outdoors anyway), yes morel's has poisonous look-alike as Cfrance pointed out. Once you've seen and picked morels you can tell the differents real easy.
As for the toad stole looking mushrooms I would touch them with 10 foot pole. So, I would NEVER pick wild mushroom in the deep south. WHY I'm not from the area. If you like toad stole looking mushroom I would just buy them out of the store. I don't care for them cause once you tasted wild fresh morels the store buttom mushrooms don't have much taste.
