Can anyone please help me identify this mushroom I found in my garden? It's 7in high, I'm wondering if it's safe to eat?!

Thanks!

looks like the prince mushroom (one of my favorite edibles). but need more info to be sure. The prince has white gills when just emerged, which turn pink and go brown when mature. They smell wonderful of marsipan to me (others report aniseed smell). Be sure of id before eating.
