This, according to Yves Lamoreux in Quebec, is Amanita lignophila. Rod does not concur. It fruits regularly in Ohio under Quercus.
your last photo has crushed my fantasy. size does matter. not to mention a membranous vs naked volva/bulb…
In the last photo you can see the mushroom is only about 2 inches long. Probably one of the look-a-likes.
There are two small, brunnescens-like taxa in the east. This specimens seems to have been small. Am I write about that Dan? It could be A. solaniolens. But I think there is another undescribed species which confuses the picture (at least for me). At least we can say this is NOT the one with a pale yellow partial veil. :-)
The bulb on brunnescens is USUALLY much more abrupt.

It looks like the universal veil remained intact as this one sprung up from the egg.
Everything except the bulb is in line with A. brunnescens, but instead of having a naked cleft foot, this one’s bulb is covered in a well formed balloon-like volva. You are probably right, but I wonder…
exact size of bulb not as important as the combination of features.
but perhaps Rod will weigh in…
I still think that your pale mushroom is what we used to call brunnescens var. pallida, due to the innate radial striations on the cap and its cracked marginate bulb.
The bulb on this mushroom looks way different than the one in 22553. Both were collected in the same area on the same day. Both have been identified as Amanita brunnescens. The radically different bulb structures suggests different species to me.
It does look huge in that third shot doesn’t it :)
