    We have all types of mushrooms and toadstools growing on our farm. This one has never been seen before. I could not find it on Google. It was approx. 14 cm tall.

    A coprinoid fungus, perhaps Coprinus comatus, undergoing self-digestion (autodeliquescence).

    I had that one instantly as a shaggy parasol.

    Shaggy mane. otherwise known as Coprinus comatus, undergoing self-digestion.

    Just another opinion.
