Interesting. In the past I read several articles saying they were, albeit bitter. I have eaten a handful of them (not all at once) without any issue, so far.
Inedible doesn't always mean you can't eat it, it can also mean that you wouldn't want to eat it.
Birch polypore comes to mind, it's not poisonous but it tastes so bad that you wouldn't want to eat it.
