I also was not sure of the ID. One feature of Macrolepiota rhacodes (shaggy parasol) is that its stipe is slender, but bulbous at the base. The Foto doesn't show tha base. Feature of Macrolepiota procera is that the ring is movable, It has a pleasant nutty smell. When sliced, the white flesh may turn a pale pink, don't know if it is so.
So can't make up my mind.
