Technically it's still edible
Once.
They said you die one or two days after eating. You could definitely eat more than once in that time.
Then you would reset the count, so as ling as you don't stop eating it you can eat an infinite amount
If you eat fast enough, maybe twice!
You'd have to use a very strange definition of edible. For something to be edible it does not only need to be able to fit down your throat, it has to be capable of nourishing you without harming you. You can swallow paper and it won't harm you, but it also can't nourish you and is thus inedible. You can eat this mushroom and it'll probably provide some kind of nourishment, but then it will swiftly kill you and thus it is inedible.
I would accept a definition of edible which includes things you can't digest. For example, gold can also be a food additive referred to by the code E175. Can't digest it, but it doesn't hurt you. So I could accept someone referring to gold as edible. But I think the barest, most universal element of something being edible is that it doesn't kill you. If literal deadly poison is considered edible one must wonder what the word "edible" is even supposed to mean.
Jimmy Neutron "sodium chloride" ass reply, "everything is edible at least once" is a common joke that works precisely because words' definitions are not rigid
Edit: I think it's best to leave this comment up as I originally wrote it, but I'm also going to go on the record to say that I could've and should've phrased this a lot more cordially.
Yeah, it's a very common joke which I argue does not work because despite the fact that there is leeway in how words are defined (that's kind of what my entire comment is about) there is no valid definition of edible which includes mushrooms that definitely kill you if you eat them.
A bollard isn't edible, even once.
Only once. ;)
You can do anything once.
Don't tempt me with a good time.
