Megacollybia platyphylla is generally considered edible, but not highly prized. Some sources report it as having a bland taste and a somewhat tough texture, especially the stem. It is not known to be toxic, but as with all wild mushrooms, proper identification is crucial, and it should be cooked thoroughly. Individual sensitivities can occur.
