Thanks Mies Meister! Lovely to put a name to this one!

And to add some more specifications on Agaricus: the gills start off white, but soon they'll turn pink. When the spores mature, the gills turn dark (chocolat-/purple-) brown. Agaricus never has white gills. Therefore I suggest this is Leucoagaricus. Probably L. leucothites.

Thanks Andres for the comment and ID suggestion, though I am not so sure about Agaricus arvensis. The one I have seems to have a different shape.
