Thx - forgot to ID this one...
because of the big flakes of the caps, i suspect this is the A. solidipes. the cap of the "real honey mushroom - armillaria mellea" almost glad,i try to upload my a. mellea next time.@ lars: As i see the most similar shaped mushrooms of the past weeks from your little forest , schould be the same species . they are all relativ big and with many flakes. And arillaria solidipes is not also; it is formely ostoyae, had it written wrong! i had the chance to taste some honey mushroom past week, not really my tase, i will stay by : macrolepiota procera/ coprinellus comatus and pleurotes ostreatus.
I second the suggestion of Vlad, Armillaria mellea or maybe ostoyae. http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemeiner_Hallimasch
In Romania we pickle these mushrooms and can be kept for winter. Really nice, the young ones that haven't still opened the cap are the best. But this year we didn't have any rain for a long time and now are really hard to find.
