Thank you both! It's great to have people that know fungi. I don't know them at all.

corduneanuvlad is right about the "wood blewit". and also about the genus: "agaricus" ,BUT "campestris" would i not suggest (campestris --> is more white capped). try -->: "agaricus bisporus" ( Portobello mushroom ). Also often found,growing wild/ with small flat cream/brownish flakes, a ring around the thick , relativ short stem. / young : pink/cream/skin colored gills/ when matured will the brown spores, change the gills to a darker color.!!

Agaricus sp. Probably Agaricus campestris.
I would'n say it's a blewit because it seems that you found it on a fileld, not in the woods.
