95% yes, it is. It's old so it won't be much good for tablefare other than broth. Does it smell like cucumbers?

I wouldn't touch this with a 10 ft pole. Cerioporus squamosus 100%

It's old and is in terrible condition for eating IMO. They're not that good and eating it at this stage is risky. Full of bacteria and I'd guess more bugs than what I would want to deal with.

I didn't smell it. I found its size impressive; there were about a half dozen of them this size and several smaller ones as well. Thanks for the responses.
