Clathrus archeri is not known to be toxic, however, consuming this fungus would not be enjoyable. Due to the rotting stench of stinkhorns, culinary application is not a common thought. There is also no record of the fungus being treated as a delicacy.

Lol. Damn near every fungi on Wikipedia has a toxicology section. But this one is just like, No one would ever think about eating this so who fucking knows?

So yeah, it's likely no one has ever tried to eat one... but I feel pretty confident someone's tried to fuck one.
