Is Scaly Earthfan edible?

Thelephora terrestris is generally considered non-toxic but is not edible due to its tough, leathery texture and lack of culinary appeal. There are no known reports of toxicity from ingestion, but it offers no gastronomic value. As with any wild mushroom, proper identification is crucial to avoid confusion with potentially toxic species, though no dangerously poisonous look-alikes are commonly associated with T. terrestris.
