They like open spaces:) It's just a baby,check how d big ones look like,they have ring and small volva but it's smaller than Amanita,leg is bit woody and hollow,u eat only d cap,fried in flour on butter is d nicest way:)
I think it's parasol mushroom,doesn't look like to me as from Amanita family,was it growing just on meadow/ edge of forest?
After taking a closer look I do agree with chesterbperry. Will remove suggestion.
I am more inclined to say this is an Amanita, fairly certain I can make out a volva at the base, which would rule out C. comatus.
