This looks pretty much like a Coprinus comatus (also known as: shaggy ink cap, lawyer's wig, or shaggy mane) to me. You can see the characteristic ring around the stipe of the fungus (see image below from Wikipedia). The fungus is edible and is also cultivated in China for this purpose. See here for more details.
