Amanita pubescens may be right and as Rod notes in his description, they were growing near what we are tentatively calling A. recutita(see obs 340817).
pubescens and recutita have the distinctively broad gill faces that jut below the margins of the caps. They both seem to be similar morphologically and they both seem to share terrain, though I find pubescens under both deciduous and coniferous trees while recutita seems to favor pines.
Cool finds, Ron. You always find cool stuff.
