It's probably Macrolepiota procera, but You must check two things: leg must be a tube and ring arround leg must movie. But be very carefull becouse it is very similar to Amanita rubescens. If You don't have certainty DON'T EAT!

looks like a shaggy parasol to me. A bunch of these have been popping up around my apt complex.
