We have similar fungi appearing in this garden around August time - I have no idea if they're edible - I would want an expert to tell me. I have eaten all sorts of wild fungi but only when identified by an acknlowledged expert.
However, I'm so pleased you're not going to destroy them - I grew up running wild in the countryside and never thought of licking or eating anything a trusted adult hadn't told me was 100% safe. I just regard them as yet more of the wonderful bounty of Nature and my children always thought they were just magical
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
What a wonderful specimen. You are lucky to live where you do. I used to love mushrooming in Surrey. Not much round here on limestone and what there is isn't usually worth picking.
Hope you manage to find someone local to help you identify it for sure.

And I hope the boys enjoy looking at it too.
