it appears to have a swollen stem base . . . if there was a sort of bag-like structure there it could be Volvariella gloiocephala (there are other contributors to this forum who know more about these wood-chip 'fellas' than I do - so I stand to be corrected)
cheers

I would certainly second the suggestion of V. gloiocephala- the species characterised by both the loose volval bag as Chris mentioned and a distinctive umbonate pileus, as displayed by your image. | | |
