Edible cooked with caution according to wikipedia (due to reaction with alcohol) - have you ever tried them Geoff?
Yes, they're a personal favourite. Benefit from long cooking. Best thing to do with them is put them in the roasting tray with a fatty joint of pork or beef, or a plump chicken and let them "deep fry" for an hour. They can take the punishment and come out tasting delicious.
I've never had a reaction with alcohol - and I drink a lot. Some species of Armillaria are known to cause upsets in some people. These aren't the worst offenders, but people with a sensitive stomach might suffer a bit!
Caps only. Discard the stems.
