thanks everyone for your input! and sorry about the lighting in the second picture. thought they looked like textbook crenulata when I saw them but I failed to take a decent picture for further IDing. thank you for the tip Dave!

I've made several A. crenulata collections these past few weeks  https://mushroomobserver.org/507313?q=1nrvY   https://mushroomobserver.org/507315?q=1nrvY   https://mushroomobserver.org/507282?q=1nrvY .  The third one comes from oak-dominated woods. These three observations are all pretty much classic A. crenulata. 

The "crenulata" story gets more interesting with ones like... https://mushroomobserver.org/326553?q=1ns6C . This last observation features fruit bodies that were submitted for sequencing as part of the North American Mycoflora Project. The ITS (portion of the DNA/genome) matched an accession in GenBank labeled "Amanita crenulata." Perhaps the summer version of A. crenulata looks different than the typical fall version? Or maybe there are two distinct taxa that are genetically close? Here's another interesting ITS match for A. crenulata  https://mushroomobserver.org/458584?q=1ns6M .

I'm hoping at least one of my recent classic crenulata collections will be sequenced (first three shown above).
