This is the underside of the fly agaric. Found on the Utrechtse Heuvelrug, where they are common and also quite large. The fly agaric is a plate mushroom, recognizable by the parallel lamellae on the underside of the mushroom. The spores are formed and released there. Those lamellae are not easily seen. Only if the mushroom is not standing upright can you see the underside. Or if it is very large. In this one, it looks more like a mexican sombrero.
