Calocybe… Cool supposition

Are there any (other) records of a chunky white Calocybe in NA?

But both the spore print color (white) and the pungent (not fragrant) odor support an alternative hypothesis. Growth in leaf litter does jive with Lepista.
The only Calocybe I am aware of that looks like this is C. gambosa. This species is at best rare in NA, and occurrence of this springtime mushroom in September seems to increase the unlikelihood.
Leucopaxillus makes about the most sense to me. At least one species (L. tricolor, which these most likely are not) has a strong odor.
