Toadstool splitting?

Two days ago I noticed my toadstool was not looking like itself, not budding. Then I noticed what I thought was a small tear. Today it looks like it might be splitting. Is this normal, will the entire stem split as well?

I looked it up, it does look similar. Should I cut off the dead part or will an iodine dip and brushing the dead material away solve it?
