Whitish, with some yellowish staining.

Stem:
3-5 inches long, whitish-brown. 1 inch thick. Fibrous and tough. Annulus present. 
Cap:
Diameter: 2-3 inches, brown, convex and slightly umbonate.

Spore print color:

Seem to have been slugged pretty heavily. I'm curious to know if this species might be edible, since they are so large and have an appetizing mushroom scent.

I'm not well versed in mushroom idenification in general, so your guess sounds good to me, but after looking at the Armillaria species suggested by RenegadeMycologist, they do look more similar than most of the Cortinarius species that are common around here.

Both of the species you suggested look pretty similar! Thanks for the help!

I would say its definately armillaria in mellea group which would include armillaria mellea, armillaria gallica, and armillaria ostoyae as well as 2 or 3 other species.... I think...

Forsure, thanks for the further clarification. I guess I have to worry about my giant sequoia now that its been infected by the these....a bit of reading online says these buggers are a common cause of tree death.

Yes these fuckers cause a lot of damage, but some people eat them. Personally I don't like them as edible. Those parasitic clusters are so off puting in appearance for me to even consider. But many people eat them in my country.

Merry Christmas 🎄

It's an Armillaria.

If you're thinking of eating them, be certain to cook them thoroughly. If they're even slightly undercooked you will get sick.

Happy mushrooming!

Thanks Renegade and ToxicMan, i appreciate the knowledge and sage wisdom. I was super curious about the flavor after hearing they were an edible, so I took a small piece of one cap (a triangle portion of maybe 1 by 2 inches) and parboiled it before cooking it to a crispy brown in some vegan butter with salt and pepper. It was quite delicious.....reminded me of the flavor of oyster mushrooms when i prepare them in this manner...however that could just be the butter and salt;) Tastes like bacon! I'll keep you posted on whether they upset my stomach......hopefully the parboiling and intense heat of pan frying has me covered.

Happy holidays!
