Sho' looks like it to me - scales on cap, kinda heavy soft veil, correct gill color for mature augustus. Spore print that puppy! Spores should be chocolate brown. Kinda crush the end of the stem, then slice it in half, take note of any smell (almond) and bruising. Mature specimens seem to bruise a bit yellow, but it shouldn't be severe. No yellow on younger specimens that I've noted. In general it should smell pleasingly mushroomy if you don't pick up the almond - took me a bit.
That one looks a bit mature but cleancleanclean - after you verify spore color, try sauteeing up a few bites and see whatcha think.
Probably a bit better to take them younger - but the open caps I've had have been fine. You'll know when you cut it whether it's fit to eat or not.
Please report back, and I hope you get the rest of the flush - cut them off at the base to leave the mycelium intact, instead of uprooting and taking pins or whatnot, let them grow up, too. It would rock to have a readymade mycelial clump to try to transplant or keep going. Keep bugging folks here about how to manage that - it's a rare find for habitat, fersure.
I think it's one of the most choice shrooms and your sporeprint will confirm!
-------------------- "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 don't think that is Agaricus augustus, the stem is too smooth, the cap is too white and doesn't look quite right. I'm not sure the habitat is quite right either, what do they smell like? Do they stain any colors?

Not August.. stem doesnt look right...
My Guess is Agaricus Arvensis
Stains brown maybe because its a mature specimen? Water-Logged maybe?
