I found this mushroom in my garden yesterday, and am trying to identify it. I live in southeast Brazil, in the state of São Paulo. Info about the environment: They have grown in a relatively humid and shaded area, with lots of small plants near it. There also is a Moquiniastrum polymorpha tree close to it (around 2-3 meters away). Info about the mushroom: It has a very large cap, around 15cm (6in) in diameter, that is flat, and has a light almond brown color, almost a little bit yellow. The stem is bare, with a brown color, and is relative slim, around 2cm in diameter. It is also very slanted. Underneath the cap are very intense yellow pores, so it is probably a bolete. Upon bruising the cap and the pores, it didn't seem to change color or excrete any liquid. I'm currently doing a spore print of it, and will post results when its completed. Here are some pictures of it: This last picture was from yesterday. The mushroom was a little smaller, but I think my phone captured the color of the cap better than the first picture.
