Expert Response
Dear Mr. Wenk,
Your question was randomly assigned to me. Unfortunately, I cannot tell you if the mushroom you have is edible or not. Nor the common name of this fungi.
As one Mycologist stated, "All mushrooms are edible once." To my knowledge there are no experts I know of within our agency. If there were I would pass your inquiry to them to answer.

You may also consider posting your images to iNaturalist where a Mycologist can respond if it is edible and provide the common name.
