Is it edible? The Description indicates a mild or slightly bitter taste, but that by itself doesn't indicate whether or not it's safe to eat. Prisoner of Zenda (talk) 00:53, 22 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
The taste is an identifying characteristic- unidentified mushrooms will often be smelt and tasted so that the species can be identified. There's no published information as to whether the species is edible. J Milburn (talk) 08:51, 22 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
I think it would be good for the article to include the information that there's no published information on that point. It seems to me that most books on mushrooms treat the question of edibility as one of the key traits of every 'shroom they list. 108.49.158.55 (talk) 20:59, 22 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
I've added something to the article- thanks for your comments! J Milburn (talk) 21:38, 22 January 2014 (UTC)Reply
