Nice set of photos that shows the important features. The main photo, though blurred, shows that none of the gills reach the stem and in the third photo you see the rim of the cup-like volva around the base of the stem. Most of the volva is below ground level.

Thanks Heinol, I will try to get the same range of characteristics for all future fungi.
