I’ve tried a close relative, the stinkhorn (aptly named phallus impudicus). While in the egg phase, the slimy outer layer can be peeled off. Then you cut the inside into thin wedges, and fry them in oil. They taste like earthier french fries. The stuff in the post I’ve only ever encountered in the mature stage, so I never got to try this recipe with them. Since they are very similar in most aspects, I’d guess the technique should work.
But are they edible?
Surely someone has tried?

Well I love fries almost as much as I love dirt so now I want to try them

Would be a vegan alternative to sea food
Like anything, you can eat it at least once…
Ed- Despite the disgusting smell, octopus stinkhorn is not known to be poisonous to humans or pets.
German Wikipedia says it’s edible but it doesn’t taste good.
