Habitat: Found growing in grass, Sacramento area, CA. Two of the them where growing side by side and a third a little ways away. (I have pics to two of them, one of the two and the third single one)
Gills: White gills with some minor yellowing on one of them, not attached.
Stem: Around 5 cm in length and around 1 cm or less in diameter, white with some brown/yellow discoloring, smooth, not sure how solid or hallow as the stems feel like they got bugs. It also has a membranous superior to median annulus.
Cap: the diameter ranges from 3.5 cm on the smallest to 7 cm on the largest, white with some brown/yellow discoloring (Faint, even more so then the stem) with the center turning buff, smooth and soft with fibrils/scales that take of the appearance of pealing.
Spore print color: White
Bruising: No bruising, but minor yellowing on the gills and some minor brown/yellow discoloring on the stem and cap.
Other information: Kind of a sweet/musty smell.
Pics:

They way I understand it, Leucoagaricus leucothites should have a smooth pure white cap. That's how I've ever seen them. There could be some variation I guess. Definitely a Leucoagaricus of some kind I'd say. Either way I don't recommend that you eat these mushrooms.
-------------------- Mr. Mushrooms said: I will confess something that should be quite obvious, CC. I love mushrooms, i.e. fungi. I really do. I am talking about a strong feeling, i.e. emotion, for them. I think they are beautiful. I even dream of them.

Quoting from my copy of Mushrooms Demystified on the cap:
Quote:
usually smooth, but sometimes with numerous small branlike particles, or breaking up into scales in age
Though upon reading the rest of the description (It took me a bit to realize Lepiota naucina is a synonym to Leucoagaricus leucothites) I do agree with this:
Quote:
Either way I don't recommend that you eat these mushrooms.
Messing around with these at this point seems like a good way to ask to get poisoned. 
Thanks for the input anyways.

This patch fruited again this year, I think they're Leucoagaricus barssii.



For comparison here is a L. leucothites I found with it.



And some more L. barssii I found a few days ago in another part of town.
