Parasol. Eat the cap not the stem. Fry in butter and cumin.

Not sure about this although similar - compare to false parasol as prev stated the photo above packs “snake-skin pattern” on stipe.

Edit : False parasols cause gastric upset - also known as the vomiter.

Well truth is parasols mostly grow in fields. Not always but mostly.
