Every mushroom is edible once πŸ˜­πŸ’€ Looks like a bracket fungus on that tree though, probably tough as leather! Glad you’re recharged, welcome back online ⚑️
One photo cannot clear a mushroom, and apps that pretend to are wrong often enough to be dangerous. The base decides it: dig the whole stem out and look for a volva or a ring, because deadly Amanitas look harmless from above. Galerina is the other name worth knowing, and it grows on dead wood rather than soil. Show it to someone local who actually eats what they pick.
Skip the photo verdict. Safe ID needs several features together: structure, habitat, and a spore print, which foragers treat as the single most reliable feature. Print color alone separates the edible Shaggy Parasol from the toxic Green Spored Lepiota.
