The fibrous scales and the pink tinges indicate Agaricus augustus - The Prince to me Julie.

This can easily pass for Agaricus augustus but I have my doubts - that reddening is just too intense.

I agree with you there Neil, plus the cap pattern is too 'irregular' for A. augustus- In A. augustus, the cap has radiating fibrils that are more arranged and symmetrical. |

Neil. | My thoughts went to the Prince..but as you mentioned the reddening..I brought them back with me..snapped another cap off..and immediately you get this very dark pink/red appearing..

Agaricus silvaticus is an extremely variable species, with lot's of varieties put forward - var. haemorrhoidarius could apply in this case, but I'm uncertain if this name is valid.
