Almost 11" (28cms) across
Most likely Leucopaxillus Giganteus (Giant Funnel) / Other possibilities were one of the Lactarius family, but no milk exuded when damaged, which ruled that out.

Field Mushroom? Positive ID?

4" across. Dark Brown spore, brown gills, white cap.
Never ever eat a mushroom you pick without being 100% sure what it is. At least eighteen varieties in the UK will cause you significant damage/death. A mycologist will almost always want a spore print to confirm ID, which is why I usually take one - you lay the mushroom down gill-side down on a sheet of white/black paper and leave for a few hours. The print in this case was produced within three hours.
