Bingo As Mike said. Yes, edible but kind of bland flavor so something in the breading will help. Also, a good, layered filler in a lasagna or other casserole. Easy ID but two things to look for. Slice and make sure it does not have a non-edible forming in it. By the size if it right away I would say no. It should look like a clean slice of white bread inside. If it is darker, it is on its way downhill. I like puffballs. In places these become quite large.
