IS THIS A SHAGGY PARASOL

The work colleague who gave them to me says they grow in clusters on her lawn close to forest edge.

Stem base was bulbous and much wider than the rest of the stem. Ring was detachable and would slide.

I was convinced enough that it was an edible parasol that I fried it and stirred it into an incredibly tasty Mushroom Carbonara Pasta

But is it really C. rachodes?

It certainly looks like one of the Shaggy Parasols that we get in the southwest BC, C. brunneum, which used to be called C. rhacodes and looks very similar.  MushroomExpert.com says that C. brunneum also occurs in eastern N.A. but is very rare.  So, I'd say that it is very likely to be C. rhacodes (spelled slightly differently in other sources).
