 Growing on my lawn, are they edible?

Habitat:
It grew on my lawn. I've had them last year, but never occurred to me to find out about them.
Gills:
White, I don't know much about texture, but it's like a portobello gill,except white.
Stem:
White, has a veil in the middle, I did try to pinch it yesterday, and it seemed fibrous I would say.
Cap:
It started puffy, like a big ball, but today it was open, I would say it has about six inches. It's white with some brownish spots.
Spore print color:
I did not take them out of the ground, so I don't have one.
Bruising:
I pinched the stem and cap yesterday, it seemed to bruise a light black.
Other information:
Pics attached, the first image is from yesterday when it was puffy, but it is blurry because my camera is broken. Today it opened up quite large and a few more small ones are growing close by. Today I took pics with my wife's phone.

Looks like it might be a Chlorophyllum sp., not sure though. Please pick one and make a spore print.

Definitely a Chlorophyllum sp.
A picture of the gills might help with the id, otherwise do a spore print.

Well, here are some pics, hope they are what you wanted, if not let me know. I shall now remove the stem and do a spore print.
From what I've read these few minutes, if the print is white, it should be a parasol, therefore edible, right? Thanks for all the help guys, the print should be ready in what? An hour? I'll check back in a few.
Again, thanks.

And, the results are in!
I see no green on this spore print, so I guess I'm gonna have me some parasol tomorrow!
Any good recipes anyone wanna share?
I'm just thinking of throwing it on the grill with olive oil, salt and pepper.
Also, if you think I might be wrong, please say something, as diarrhea is not something I particularly enjoy.
Thanks for all the help though.
Without you guys I would have never found out about this!

Sorry for reposting, but I feel this is important in case someone has a similar find.
If you think you have a parasol, leave it for a spore print overnight at least.
Last night, after a couple hours the spore print looked white, but I decided to leave it overnight, and today it is clearly green.
This means the mushroom is poisonous, and would have given me major stomach aches and diarrhea, from what I've read.
This pic was taken with my phone, cuz my wife is sleeping, so it is blurry. But you can clearly see the green tint to it.
Boy am I glad I left it overnight.
So there you have it folks. A fast spore print might be deceptive. Better to leave it for a good while, just to make sure.

This is very true. I've seen light Galerina prints appearing almost greyish.
