Mushrooms with Petals

tall white mushroomsThese mushrooms came up in the mulch after some rain. I'm not usually into mushrooms but I think these are pretty. They are about 5 inches tall.

I made an effort at identifying them but gave up when I saw that there are hundreds, maybe thousands of mushrooms in the Eastern US. AmericanMushrooms.com has an interesting overview.
