Anyone see this before? Just noticed the hole in my toadstool, about the size of a dime.

Typically it means it's getting ready to reproduce.

"In the wild, the Sarcophyton genus will reproduce naturally by spawning as well as by budding and fragmenting. They will drop off clones of themselves by self fission. A sign of reproduction is a hole that may appear in the middle of the capitulum, and as it reaches the edge, a small piece falls off."
