Ahh fantastic fungi !! Macrolepiota almost certain but amazing species. Like gully.moy I would love to know what it was coming from. Do you remember?

Stipe texture is very indicative of Macrolepiota, I suspect you are correct with that. What was it growing from?

Hi João Burini, At Project Noah we like to focus on the organism in the spotting. Please crop this picture so your hand is still in for scale, but you're face in not in the picture. Please see the FAQ for more about what makes a spotting. Thanks for understanding.

I would think lepiota... the macroleps I've seen have shorter stout stalks
