   I once tried it - dried and cooked again. Tasted very good. I just tried 3   
   or 4 fruitbodies. And I don't recommend trying it, unless you know what   
   you're doing and you don't eat it more than once.   
      
   My reasoning back then was that the Poles and East Germans used to eat G.   
   esculenta by the tons (and people tell me it is still sold in cans and fresh   
   on markets in some Eastern places) and thus I wanted to know how it tasted -   
   a matter of personal curiosity. However, this is absolutely no guarantee for   
   anybody - Paxillus involutus was another case where people died although   
   others ate it over and over again.
