I assume the location Manchester is the city in the United Kingdom. There's also a city called Manchester in the state of New Hampshire, USA.

As for the mushrooms, we will have a much better chance to arrive at an ID if an entire fruit body is harvested and photographed from different perspectives... to show cap, underside (gills in this case), and the stipe including the base which may be buried. Often it is necessary to excavate to base of the stipe. Usually, it is sufficient to insert a knife blade into the ground and underneath the base in order to pop it out of the ground. Other ID features include spore print color and sometimes any notable odor. Also, it often helps to vertically section one mushroom so that the interior structure may be assessed. 

If in the UK, then Amanita rubescens look like a possibility. If in the USA then any of several similar species of Amanita --a few of which are currently unnamed.
