Newbie here....is this edible?

That looks like a purple-spored puffball (Calvatia cyathiformis). They are edible but -- like most puffballs -- the flavor is pretty mild.

Be sure the flesh is white throughout, not starting to turn purple yet. Some folks remove the outer skin but we find that step to be unnecessary. We ate a couple of this same species two days ago sliced thin like eggplant and saute'd in olive oil with minced garlic until just browned. It was really good prepared that way.
