George R makes it a possible Yellow Blusher, aka Amanita flavorubescens. Bill Yule thinks a better name is Amanita flavorubens.
Rips its own cap apart as it grows.

One growing alone. White
spore print Overall impression is that it is an Amanita of some kind.

Another group of three.
They pushed up through gravel that is used to sand the parking lot in winter.
Top. Looks like the universal veil was scraped off by
the gravel as the mushroom emerged from the ground. Cap
about 3.5".
Partial yellow veil torn and blown over onto the cap at right and left.
The brown spot on the cap is probably a bruise caused when it forced itself up
thought the hard soil.
Here is a section. I can not tell if this has free gills
or attached gills.
