Give one to Martin for breakfast and if it doesn't kill him you could have a nice omelette for lunch

Looks fine to me but cut a bit off the bottom of the stem and see if it turns yellow. If it does it is a Yellow Stainer and not recommended. Not fatal, but can cause the cassette to be filled more often than expected.
Also give it a sniff - if it smells like you expect a mushroom to smells like that's a good sign.
Is the top like a normal supermarket mushroom? Waxy and shiny would not be a good sign. Finally, where was it growing? If a field or on sand dunes then good, if under a hedge or in a wood potentially not good.
You will be fine eating it I'm sure.

Funny you should post this.
I was out walking the dog on Cleeve Hill today and came across some mushrooms about that size.
Didn't pick them as didn't have a bag to put them in and it was around 2 miles back
@DBK thanks for the info i must try to remember it as a general rule

I had something similar grow under a tree in our house in Essex. type of stink horn. So named as they do.
Horrendously.

I should qualify my comment about "waxy and shiny" tops. It referred to white coloured mushrooms as there are several edible fungi with shiny tops of different colours, such as the ceps, which are brown and delicious. I was trying to highlight things like this, the Death Cap, where the clue to its edibility is in the name.Funny you should post this.

I'm no expert and won't eat any fungi unless I've 100% identified it.

I would only pick and eat anything that looked like the OP i.e. brown underneath and "smells" correct.
I wouldn't touch any type of fungi
or even a funguy 
come to that.

I watched a good program in mushrooms just yesterday that I had recorded.very interesting. I now know lots of things about mushrooms,still wouldn't eat any I'd picked wild though. I used to a lot when the kids were young. I didn't know any different. Good job I and the kids are still alive.
A lady from the isle of wight died a few years back after eating the wrong kind of mushroom so nowadays I don't take the chance and they are so cheap in the supermarket anyway.
