This one looks like a typical Armillaria gallica (=A. lutea, A. bulbosa). Good id characters are the bulbous club-shaped stipe with bright to greyish yellow fibrils or fleecy scales and the short-lived fibrillose ring, as well as the striate cap margin. A. mellea, on the other hand, has a very persistent, tough (rubber-like) membraneous ring, which is not easy to remove.

Hi Angelo,
had another look and yes I agree with you. A.gallica isn't mentioned in a few books though ( Phillips , Jordan ) which is funny as it's said to be common. Maybee they haven't split it from mellia yet ?
Thanks
