Macrolepiota sp
It stood about 13 cm off the ground and was about 7.5 cm across. The top was dry. I didn't think to get a picture from the bottom.
This grew rapidly (not recently cut grass) in the middle of the yard in the Amazon rainforest of SE Ecuador.
We have lived here for 33 years. We get 20 feet of rain a year and this is the only time I have seen one growing in the yard.

Hi Mark. I see I never acknowledged your help in ID-ing this spotting. I suppose it's better late than never. Thanks for the help on this and others.
Many characteristics of Macrolepiota sp.
