They taste very good, kind of typical mushroom aroma, they have their own specific aroma when you ... how to say :) take a detailed look at the taste ... but is not very different from, ad example oyster mushroom from the supermarket... when they are raw they have an unpleasant, a bit like the ammonium smell ... and they are mildly toxic if not cooked ... but very short cooking is enough ... I fried them very short, just the time for the crust to form, so they are almost raw at the inside but I never had problems and some years I eat a lot of them fried like that ... but they taste good cooked in any way, I like some kind of mushroom goulash made with them ... or with some other mushrooms mixed in
Cool hopefully i can find the edible ones around here and avoid the green spore vomiter ones. The pink oysters have a similar ammonia smell but they taste good after cooking. I'll try them in goulash if i ever find any.

damn, they look like a typical toadstool! I'd afraid to appoach it. Sadly. Very tricky and I couldnt differ it from non-edibles.
It's better to be safe then :) there are many other delicious things out there to eat ... I eat a few species that I'm sure of ... and all the others I live to the camera :)
