If they're Melanoleuca melaleuca, they're edible. It's not always best to include in a meal however, due to the fact that it can sometimes be mistaken for poisonous red-capped Russulas that will provide an unpleasant experience.

Thanks! I wonder if they are edible by humans but I did not dare to try!
