Best Answer

Mycelium has nearly the same nutritional value as a fruited Mushroom. If the strain is considered an edible mushroom you could eat the Mycelium with no ill effects, but one must consider what the Mycelium is consuming as this may be Straw, Wood or perhaps dung (things you wouldn't want to eat).
