Habitat: Western Maryland, found growing in the open grass.

Gills: White, free, mostly crowded.

Stem: About 3" tall, white/faintly tan. No bruising. Bulb and ring on stipe.

Cap: Smooth, white/faintly tan, 1.5-2" in diameter, no bruising.

It's a very pretty mushroom. Rather small and smells kind of odd. No spore print yet, but I'm going out on a limb with "probably white". I'm working on being able to sort out my Lepiotas/Macrolepiotas from my Amanitas--apparently we have all of these things these here now. 
My guess is Lepiota leucothites.

Leucoagaricus leucothites is a good guess, but it's possible it's another Leucoagaricus species, the cap in L. leucothites is usually pure white and smooth.

It actually looks more tan in the picture than it is in real life. The indoor lighting is kind of warm. You wouldn't notice the faint tan-ness unless you were looking at it closely.
It's actually really soft. I keep wanting to pet it.
