Please help me identify this mushroom

Many times every year, around the wettest season in the tropics around south-east Asia. I have these mushrooms with white stems and mostly white caps (however, there are some gray pigments on the top most of their caps each mushroom have unique patters of it) growing on plain soil that normal plants grow.
They seem edible, because many insects come to feast on them, but I am not sure.
And because they are rare, they don't sprout in high quantities, I will not pick them to do spore prints or give a more detailed image, sorry guys.
I'd like to know what the mushroom is and whether or not it is edible and perhaps how to have more of them (because they look beautiful), thanks. 
Here are the pictures:

Might be a poisonous Chlorophyllum species, at a guess. I couldn't speculate further without better photos, and since those aren't forthcoming, I would suggest you assume this is poisonous and don't eat it.

Thanks for the reply, ent the mushroom is really short, it's fat, measures 2.5 inches from the ground up, the cap's width is 3.5 inches width parallel to the horizon.
It looks very fiberous and thick and tough in flesh.
If you do need pictures of any angle or part, you can tell me, and I will see if I can do it and find the best way to do it.
I just came back from going out to look for more additional info:
* Habitat What kind of trees were nearby? What was it growing from? Growing from the dirt. * Location Where in the world was it? In the northern part of Thailand. Specifically: Chiang Mai.
* Gills What do they look like? Always try to take photos that show the gills of both young and mature mushrooms.
I'm sorry, but.... it's hard to see the gills when they are short.
* Stem Carefully dig it out of the ground so you can get a picture of the whole thing. Straight white big stem
* Spore print color (if you have time) * Scent of the mushroom.
No smell
* Color that the mushroom bruises when damaged.
Cuts are present in the picture, seems perfectly white.
* Anything else you might find important
Nothing really. I also touched it, it felt like something man-made... like some really fine quality tough plastic.

pick one, cut it in half and show us the halves?
if they show up every year, they likely aren't *that* rare and if you want to eat them, you'd have to pick one anyway?
and then if you don't eat it, you can bury the mushroom you cut in a new location and hope it colonizes that area, and then you'll have more.
just seemed to be a logical inconsistency in the original statement
