Large white mushroom with brown-ish gills and dark "rim". Need an ID

Found this monster growing under some pine trees (Michigan). I don't see them too often, but I think they're too big to disregard. It's about 9 1/2 inches in diameter. I've had it sitting on a piece of paper for no more than 2 hours and it's already left a pretty "bold" print. The spores are the same color as the gills. Any help with an ID would be appreciated. Thanks =)

Looks like an agaricus. Very cool looking one. I've never seen one that big. What does it smell like? Did it bruise where you cut the stem?

Smells like wood, I guess.. not too strong. Just a faint scent. And nope, no bruising at all.

That's a pretty one. I agree that it is an Agaricus species. It could be edible, but narrowing it down to an edible species is important. There are some toxic species, which could make you sick.
If you want to eat it, you need a positive edible ID. For that, you need a proper description.

Here's the sport print of it. Just figured I'd share.
