Is this mushroom edible?

There is an edible mushroom quite similar to that one called "Old Man Of The Woods"-



...but the quick & dirty distinction between the Old Man and the one you have is that the Old Man is a bolete, meaning it has a spongy-textured underside rather than gills as your mushroom does-



...so I'd resist the temptation to try your mushroom.

The problem with mushrooms is that their appearance varies greatly with atmospheric conditions. Delicious Chanterelle mushrooms and highly poisonous Jack-O-Lantern fungus are relatively easy to distinguish from each other in ideal conditions, but at other times they look almost exactly alike.
