And I'd say pretty certain that this is no Penny Bun (Boletus edulis) - it has a comparable high, strong stem and a pored, tan brownish cap. ---> compare: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boletus_edulis

Looks more like an Agaricus to me...is there any shot of the stem and gills/pores ? (Boletes have pores, Agaricus gills)

Boletus ! Must have pores instead of gills. What do they taste like?
