It is edible when young and the internal flesh is completely white, although care must be taken to avoid confusion with immature fruit bodies of poisonous Amanita species.

Thanks Chun! The fungus is very common in my area at that time of the year. I did like to take it from a perspective that showed the woods as background.
Such a fantastic spotting!
Well done, Marta.
