What might make that even cooler is having multiple layers.
1. Detect the trees (I think morels are symbiotic with some kind of tree) that morels are most likely to be found near.
2. Detect the morels themselves, perhaps taking into account that you are now in a particular environment so you know you don't have to worry about detecting them on a sandy beach or some other ecological impossibility (if there is such a thing for morels, and I suspect there is).
Yeah, you bring up a good point. Morels are usually found around elms and ash trees that are quite dead and shedding bark. I have had good success when finding a dead standing tree or one that fell and has been rotting a season or two.
I also hunt chicken-of-the-woods and dryad saddles which honestly are much easier to find and are, at least in my opinion, easier to cook and use. Dryad saddles are very nice as they have a fresh cucumber like taste. Need to get them 'young' when they are still spongy and not woody.
