I would love to believe this is a Destoying Angel but it’s grey on the top with white under gills. I’m a bit stuck! On its own in a field!

Oh yes ! A straw mushroom. Thx very much and makes sense with it growing in an open field. Interesting that they are edible but I certainly am too nervous.

Big Sheath mushroom. Formerly known as Volvariella gloiocephalus but now Volvopluteus gloiocephalus. Not recommended for consumption due to its similarity to amanita phalloides.

They do look similar for sure. Pretty though but sadly, very common although not where I live in the UK. Than you everyone for your identification.
