The sample is rather small but it looks to me like Coprinus comatus (Shaggy

Very tasty fried in a little butter.

Absolutely definitely not going to be giving it a try. :-P
We have edible mushrooms growing outside hte house - one of my neighbours
has eaten them and says they're nice, and she's not died, but I'm still
really quite paranoid about them. (They're big field mushrooms, I think,
with big white tops and pink gills)

Not worth the risk; this entire family now lives in dialysis after
eating poisonous wild mushrooms in Scotland
