East Texas ID request

Habitat: Grew out of a small 2 inch hole or indention in the ground surrounded by healthy and dieing grass; found it at the edge of my lawn, east Texas. Grew out of the soil
Gills: Color - white but mostly pinkish, they appear to be free.
Stem: 3 to 4 inches long, around 2 cm wide, white, smooth, moist, solid, and thick.
Cap: Diameter 2 to 3 inches, color - light brownish grey around the outside, towards the center becomes more brown , did not feel viscid, texture felt smooth and moist.
Spore print color: Light brown, maybe even dark gold.
Bruising: Did not observe any bruising. The stems did seem to have a few light brown bruises already, but I'm not totally sure.
Other information: No distinct smell or unpleasant odor.




The black is marker ink, I will use real dark paper next time in case of white spores. Somewhat fail of a first spore print.

The pink spores and attached gills point to Entoloma. That is a "pink" spore print.

Good call Thinker. These look and act more like Pluteus. I think it's just the angle of the photo and the fold of the cap that makes the gills look attached. I agree...probably Pluteus.

I am leaning towards Pluteus as well. Check to see if there is any wood down there.

By the gill attachment in the first pic, I'm thinking Entoloma. Just Even though in the last pic the sticking of the gills to the aluminum foil is indicative of Pluteus.
