I agree with DrOrloff; it is the Shaggy Ink Cap which like ground containing rubbish. As the spores ripen the gills liquefy and drip off the ink like fluid containing and dispersing the spores. Good specimen and nice colours but I would have preferred you not to have cropped away the background so much.
