This looks like it could be one of the grey Amanitas. You need an image of the stipe (stem) to see if there is a ring of tissue there. You also need to show where the fungus enters the ground to see if there is any evidence of a volva there. Have a look at the Amanita page to see what I'm talking about, but note some of these features are not present or obvious on all species.
