Neither as far as I know - eating it is likely not a good idea. While I don't know of any poisonous Leucocoprinus species, it's close cousins - the Lepiota genus contains some that are deadly.

I'm most familiar with the species found in the Pacific Northwest - those found in other parts of the world may vary considerably, so always do your own research to find out what grows in your area and what lookalikes you need to be aware of. Understand that many mushroom species cannot be 100% reliably identified by photographs alone, even by an expert, so it may not be possible to go beyond suggesting a probable genus.

Leucocoprinus birnbaumii is quite toxic, not deadly but will cause serious GI problems, and most other Leucocoprinus species are listed as toxic. I'm not sure which species this is, but it should be treated as potentially toxic as well.

Well there you go... they are all toxic .... just goes to show never eat something unless it's specifically said to be edible.
