Ovoid ID in New Jersey

Habitat:

Found about 100 meters away from a natural water spring in an old gravel pit in Southern Jersey. There were about 15 mushrooms in 3 bundles growing out of a mulchy dirt pile. It was very obvious that the pile was different than the ground around it. Looked like a perfect pile to find some little critters like brown recluses and such
Gills: The gills were a dirty white - off brown color.
Stem: The stem was pretty white, not pure white but not dark enough to call tan. They were solid and didn't really bruise when pressed. They were about 3-4 inches long and about as wide as a nickle to a quarter. The were bare and no stipe as far as I know.
Cap: Cap was about the size of the mouth of a red solo cup. I started a spore print yesterday and when I went to put the solo cup over the cap to protect from wind, some of the cap was sticking out. The caps range a little larger than that as well. About 4-5 inches. There were also a couple much smaller caps about 1 inch wide. The smaller ones had more of a cone shape while the larger ones were relatively flat. All caps were about the same color as a roasted marshmallow. Nice golden brown to off white
Spore print color: Will post pictures when complete
Bruising: No bruising. A couple spots on the stem were a little darker but I didn't get it everywhere I pressed.
Other information: I have a good amount of experience with liberty caps since I used to hunt cow fields in GA. This smells exactly the same as the cubensis but idk if all mushrooms smell like that. I will be posting pics of everything when the spore prints are complete. Based on the info given what could I assume about these. Also are there any look alikes to be aware of. Thanks and I'll post pics soon

Thanks. What makes you say they are not ovoids and what do you think they are?

Maybe something like Pluteus petasatus.

Ovoids rarely display any kind of pink or red tones.
