Chlorophyllum molybdites
Almost spherical when young, it flattens out in maturity. Photos 2 and 3 show the red staining on the stem and the loose collar.
Very poisonous, this mushroom grows on lawns and is found throughout most of the world except Europe and New Zealand.
Also called False Parasol? Found many of them in all different stages on the grass at Laupahoehoe Pt, Big Island, Hawaii.
