Volvariella gloiocephala
Mounds of moist french-grey caps bursting out of white universal veils,the remnants of which can be seen as a broken collar around the domed cap margin in pics 1 to 3. Pics 5 & 6 show a newly erupting mushroom with a pale cap and splitting universal veil.
The veil will remain as a a Volva at the base of the stipe in older mushrooms as can be seen in spotting

Gills are crowded and white in young caps (pic 4). Stipe was smooth and white.
Spotted amongst wood mulch in a garden. http://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:c...
Stubble Rosegill is so named because it is common amongst stubble in freshly harvested fields in the UK and Europe and the gills become pink with maturity. Order: Agaricales Family: Pluteaceae
