The picture is so bad that I would not trust any evaluation of their edibility based upon it. And since some mushrooms out there will kill you, but only after leaving you in an agony for days that most people cant even begin to comprehend, id say no, you can't eat them.
Actuyally, as a rule of thumb. If you do not have first hand knowledge of what kind of mushroom it is, stay away from them. That said, there are a few species out there that is very difficult to get wrong. We started with the birch bolette (Leccinum scabrum). It does not have any dangerous look-alikes. (there is one, I cant remeber which one, that will make any dish you put it in taste terrible, but will not harm you).
Else, Ade PM Ade, he is quite an expert on wild edibles :-)

I'll just hammer my point home abiout identifying mushrooms by picture:
Here is two mushrooms.
One is a perfectly edible birch bolette, the other will kill you, but only after leaving you in agony for about 2 weeks, until you internal organs shuts down, and you die...lethal webcaps. They grow side by side in the forest. And are very easy to identify, but on this picture it's not so easy to see what kind they are, unless you really know. (the safe one is the one on the right)

Campfires are best shared with friends.
If you have to ask what it is then you shouldn't risk eating it!
Please folks, just a reminder that although we don't ask you to refrain from asking for fungi identification, the replies given are only the opinions of our learned folk here based on limited information. The opinions should not be used as definitive.
