Would you say it's an edible mushroom? As a boy I use to collect field mushrooms but I'm very wary and unsure of them these days. It seems the 37mm of rain we have had over the past two days has encouraged them poke their heads up.

Photograph taken this morning in NW Victoria near a large lake, the track is less than four days old, my foot in the corner provides size perspective. The track is familiar to me, I think, but I cannot bring it to mind and Google is not much help with such matters.
