Well, the color of cap varies depending on growing habitat. Usualy they have darker brown or grayish cap while young, and yellowish brown while mature. But the ones in swamps has different color, and i don't know why exactly, because some of them are of dark grey color, even the stalks are a bit dim. The others, like this one, are snow white, and remain this color even mature. Also they seem to be more sturdy than usual brown scabers.
Maybe it has to do with direct sunlight, and age of mushroom, i'm not sure. But i checked them, they were like other boletes, mature with green under-cap.
Very poisonous beetle by the way. Ages ago they were used to poison unwanted people.
Ah yes, that's the right name for adult moth.
It is definately Macrolepiota. Supposely permixta: http://www.aranzadi-zientziak.org/filead...
Unlikely, at least here in Europe Boletus edulis never has such color and smooth top. Actualy the cap looks somehow similar to young Leccinum aurantiacum, but stalk seems different, more close to young boletus.
Naturally, i guess it is where seeds come out
