The message
from "ex WGS Hamm" contains these words:

And who told you they were edible?
The website link I posted?

You'd better sharpen your teeth and
work-up your jaw muscles: they're not (also) called Razor Strop Fungus
for nothing.
Put in a stew for a couple of hours I am sure they would have been fine.
However as the blasted car wouldn't start again, I never got to get them.

Trust me on this - they aren't edible. They won't poison you though, but
balsa wood is just as tasty, and a lot easier to chew.
