It looks as if its growing on an old oak stump? Im sure someone might have a better idea than I do.

The mushroom king is no longer here, I don't think. Where did you find it?

Looks like an 'umbonate cap' and 'free gills'.

Below are 8 things to observe when examining a new mushroom. Click on each for more detail.

    Gills - The ribs or feathers on the undersides of certain mushroom caps. Does the specimen have gills? Are they attached to the stalk?
  • Habitat - What trees are nearby? What's in the soil? How moist is the environment? There's so much to consider with habitat!
  • Time of year - Have they fruited after an early May rain or a cool September evening?
  • Cap description - The color, markings, and shape of a mushroom cap can tell you a lot!
  • Smell/taste - Only try a small amount. Is it fruity? Bitter? Doesn't it sound like I'm talking about a fine wine?
If I had to guess using my google-fu, I'd say a Pluteus, but this might help.
