3$\begingroup$ If I knew how to grow this particular mushroom, I would start a side business doing exactly that. They are very marketable. $\endgroup$– anongoodnurseCommented May 21, 2017 at 14:52

1$\begingroup$ SEARCH "MOREL CULTIVATION", it is difficult, technical, requires good rainwater / special water and good microclimate, and it's low production quantities. some people cultivate morels. experienced pickers can find many of them in certain places. its interesting. the best thing is to put them in blender with other ingredients and throw all the spores everywhere shadey rainy and well drained. i found this vid for example youtu.be/lTFugHA2WaI?t=310 $\endgroup$– bandybabboonCommented May 22, 2017 at 8:51

This is an Ascomycota from the genus Morchella, called morel:
Morels are edible: despite the Wikipedia page I linked above saying that Morchella has hydrazine, according to Ammirati, Traquair and Horgen (1986):
There is no evidence that Morchella species contain gyromitrin* or related compounds.
* A hydrazine compound.
PS: Your second question ("how to grow this?"), however, seems to be off topic here at Bio SE.
