I found several different types of mushrooms today while on a walk though a mixed pine forest in Texas.
Type 1 - Four wavy, very lightweight pale yellow mushrooms. Unfortunately they were completely shriveled up by the time I got home so I could not do a spore print. No bruising. They were growing out of a decaying stump.

Type 2 - I found quite a few of these. They all were growing out of decaying wood, are brown, have an interesting "fur" pattern on the tops, have no veils, no brusing, and appear to leave a white-ish spore print.

Type 3 - Some type of Bolete. Not too concerned about which exact species, but it was a great specimen so I snapped a few pics.

Type 4 - Only found one of these and I only bothered to take a picture because it has some bright yellow color around the base where it was growing out of it's mycelium. Didn't get a spore print, but the gills are white/yellow.

Type 5 - Found two of these growing out from pine needles at the base of a tree. They were big and meaty, have veils, had some rusty-red color to the bases, and left a white spore print.

Type 6 - I think these will probably be easy to ID because I think I've seen many pictures of these before but I can't remember the name. I found 3 of them growing out of pine needles.

Do you mean 5 is the aminita species? I saw a few other mushrooms out there that I didn't take pictures of that looked like white aminitas.

i'm going out on a limb and guessing that #6 might be a Cantharellus
those don't look like true gills to me. anyone else?

whitish prints rule out Gymnopilius right away, they're orange for that species, and come out in copious amounts
maybe Armillaria?

to the really novice eye, I can see how 4 and 5 look somewhat like cubes. What are the tell-tail signs you see?

huh! now thats a new one to me genus wise, cool beans MC i'll have to try to remember it
to try to answer your question OP, since nobody else took a stab
aside from them really not looking like cubes? (other than being mushrooms of comparable size and not R.O.U.S.)
to start, a very distinguishing feature is the gill attachment. on an amanita, they're 'free' or don't connect to the stem. cubes do. thats a show stopper right there.
while its my understanding that cubes have a pretty decent veil sometimes, don't let that be the factor that makes you think cubes, because the most poisonous amanitas tend to come with those too, as do your specimens (not to id these as such however)
cubes also grow from poo (or rice cakes if you prefer.) so if yours weren't found in a pile i'd discount the idea that it could be one. Habitat is also a very key feature to identify mushrooms. while you might find an exception, i wouldn't hold my breath or count on finding it.
other folks might give you better pointers
