 Pluteus cervinus? new england

Scent: Mushroomy
Habitat: Found in dirt, among wood chips, some of which came from the stump of a tree. I'm unsure if this was the real habitat, because I found the mushroom lying on top with no similar mushrooms near by, and the fact that the very base of the mushroom was missing. Perhaps, it was picked and placed there.
Gills: The gill color is a bit off white, like milk + a little yellowish
Stem: Whitish, thick, brown speckles. ~2cm wide. Flesh is white
Cap: Brown, smooth. Large,4-5" wide
Spore print color: pending
Bruising: No color change was observed.
Location: Picked in north eastern USA

Check the spore print color or gill attachment, its likely to be Megacollybia platyphylla.

Gills appear to be free. I did not see any rhizomorph 'roots.'
I'll be able to check on the print in ~5 hours.

P. cervinus or an Entoloma.

Must be Pluteus cervinus since you said the gills were free.
It looks like dirt on the stem base, but it must have been growing from buried wood.

I agree with Pluteus cervinus
Mushrooms in Eastern North America that have been described as Megacollybia platyphylla are now called Megacollybia rodmani
“Phylogenetic information, morphological observations and a few sexual compatibility pairings all suggest that the eastern North American representative of Megacollybia differs significantly from European M. platyphylla. Although two poorly differentiated forms seem to occur (here named), only a single species is accepted at this time. The species epithet intends to recognize James Rodman, long a Program Coordinator in the Biological Sciences Program of the National Science Foundation (USA), in appreciation of his service to biological systematics.”
