Next to Quercus hemisphaerica, Pinus palustris - also P. taeda, Q. nigra nearby. Slight malodor, bleach smell.
Regularly mown field, open, dry, sandy; odor was off-putting (faintly like a chicken barn?), but some stipes full of larvae.
Dark coloration on cap is nothing but sand and dirt adherent to pale scales (tinge yellowish dried and under scope).
Agaricus subfloridanus? but this slightly larger pileus and stipe.

Not A. floridanus? which is as large but lacks pileus scales? https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/page/34994540#page/58/mode/1up
Amanita banningiana nomen provisorum, at North Parks North Ridge, Lincoff foray.
Under Cycas revoluta near Quercus nigra, and Pinus taeda further away; wooded lawn.
Maybe Ph. cf. bellus (e.g. MH211674.1), although type from Singapore so doubtful (http://www.indexfungorum.org/Names/NamesRecord.asp?RecordID=161185)
This is the largest one I've seen of these, growing at the base of a compost pile that is mostly brush.
Growing at the base of a tree in the forest. Dark purple spore print.
