My front yard, has been very rainy lately, eastern NC
Gills: Color, attached/not, gills/pores, etc.
Have pics can take more
Stem: Length, diameter, color, texture, hollow/solid, thin/thick, etc.
see pics, can do whater you want i have a tape measure Cap: Diameter, color, texture, conical/spherical, convex/concave, etc.
see pics
Spore print color: Very important!
IDK what that is?!
Bruising: Color that the mushroom bruises, if any.
IDK what that is either!
Other information: Scent of the mushroom, anything else you think is important, large close-up pictures showing stem, cap and gills.

Sorry I can't help, I'm in the wrong part of the world to know your Amanita species well, but it's a great ID request, hopefully you get TI input soon.

Don't wash 'em off. Makes 'em rot doubletime and harder to id. Get a small slightly stiff paintbrush or such and use that to gently flick away the duff bits.
Your pics are getting better. ;-)
Where are the spore prints? Didn't we learn you better'n that?
-------------------- "Shrub, 30-90 cm. Leaves 2.5-) 4-9 cm, sessile or amplexicaul, broadly ovate to ovate-oblong, obtuse or rounded to subapiculate or subacute, when crushed not smelling of goats." "The initial quake was a 6.6 but fairly shallow. I felt it as a prolonged up and down vibration followed by a jolt forward and then to the left, like square dancing."

I saw that and I was like, 'Holy shit, maybe he's right,' though I'm pretty sure A. pantherina grows in California and the PNW. 
"Bruising" is when you smush a part of it and it turns a different color. Amanita brunnescens, for instance, looks like your mushroom. One of the key identifiers is that the flesh bruises brown. Psilocybin mushrooms bruise blue (but not all blue-bruising mushrooms are psilocybin mushrooms). Sometimes they don't bruise, but will discolor a bit when you cut them.
A spore print is made by cutting off the stem and placing the cap on a piece of tinfoil, gill-side down, covering it with a cup or bowl so it won't be disturbed, and letting it sit for a few hours. The spores will fall out of the gills and stick to the foil. The color of the spores is helpful when IDing. Amanita spore prints are almost always white, so it's not going to help you in this circumstance, but with some species it's a very important identifier. Search the site for how to make a spore print.
The stem, bulb, and volva are the best identifiers with Amanitas. Carefully digging up the mushroom is important, though sometimes it's a real bitch to do without breaking it. I had some little ones that were pushing up through moss and it was impossible to dig them out without destroying the universal veil. Which sucks, because it meant that I wasn't able to figure out what it was.
Awesome specimens, btw. 
There's this, too:

The base of the stalk doesn't seem A. pantherina, A. excelsa var spissa maybe?

That looks promising. A. excelsa var. spissa is supposed to grow in eastern North America. I'm looking at mushroom porn at work. Bullocks. Now I'm gonna have to go search for mushrooms.

What does it smell like? It's hard to tell from the picture, but does it just have a big bulb at the base, or does it look like it hatched out of a floppy eggshell? It looks brown on my screen, btw. Is it more olive-colored in real life?
I'm thinking a tentative Amanita crenulata, but don't eat me, bro.
