Lawn mushroom ID request

Habitat: Found in North East United States. They were growing in my yard, most within proximity of a pine tree. A lot of the stalk bases had pine needles stuck to them.
Gills: All white, tightly spaced and not attatched to the stalk.
Stem: Length and diameter seemed to vary a bit. But most of them were 3-4 inches long and 1/2-1 inches in diameter. Not hollow, but very fragile as most of the older ones broke off above the base when removing.
Cap: White cap with browing near the center. Smooth and dry, not fiberous as far as i could see. Conical in shape, convex and some had a little knob on top.
Spore print color: None as of yet
Bruising: Not noticable bruising.
I went out to mow and decided to pick all of these, as they all seemed to be of the same species. I didnt want to chop them up, but i also didnt want to pull out the bases which ended up happening a lot, as they were not rooted very deep.
My best guess is Lepiota Nuacina, any input is appreciated!!

It looks like a Leucoagaricus species.

Not Leucoagaricus nuacina, the cap is not smooth enough. How about L. barsii?

Is Leucoagaricus a newer name for the agaricus family? My field guide unfortunately doesnt label them as such.

Also there was definitely not enough fiber on the caps to be Barsii, in my opinion. The pictures show mostly color, they are all pretty smooth.

Lepiota was split up a while ago, Leucoagaricus is one of the newer genera. Check out mycobank if you want to see info on name changes. I'm not sure about L. barsii, but I'm sure they're not smooth capped.

I think that they are more closely related to Lepiota than Agaricus.
