Thanks again, Michel for providing an ID and extra information.
That is not a 'torq', or Agaricus bitorquis. The 'torq' very much resembles the Button Mushroom (Agaricus bisporus), but it is easily distinguished by its 'double ring'. Here's my spotting of A. bitorquis: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/156...
The ones on your photo are called Stropharia rugosoannulata var. lutea, which is quite rare in the Netherlands. Or it has never been accepted as a taxonomically significant taxon in the Netherlands, since it is not mentioned on Verspreidingsatlas.nl.
