These were in my yard today. 78 degrees the next 2 days. I’m hoping they “pop” soon.

Great problem to have! 😀
I remember my dad would take me along in the car with his friends to hunt shrooms. We'd go to an area SW of Des Moines towards Winterset, Iowa if I recall correctly. It was a great place to find them and you would see on the dirt roads by a farmyard mailbox a small round gaviniezed wash tub filled with morels with a sign that would say Help yourself to some.
 

Went out today and no luck with morels... did find these red mushrooms and have no idea what they are. Better luck next hike.

Looks like Scarlet Elf Cup. Supposedly edible, but I wouldn't recommend trying it.
