That's some sort of Lepiota or Chlorophyllum species.
Sure is big.

there are some GIGANTIC mushrooms growing on Memorial westbound before Shepard. You can see them from the road pretty clearly. Big 8 to 12" flying saucer shaped caps, short stems, soft and mushy feeling.
Also, there are some taller white Amanita looking ones there too, with powdery caps and white gills, but they could be Chlorophyllum. Now that I think about it, they probably are. But the others definitely aren't. I have no idea what they are. I should have taken pics and brought one home for a spore print, but I didn't want to mess with it. The mushy flesh kinda creeped me out.

I can't see the photos in IE or firefox, but the "powdery" cap is consistent with Chlorophyllum.... one of the characteristics that makes these prime for kicking. But you'll want to wash off your shoes afterwards.
