Compare to A. augustus (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agaricus_augustus) -

I agree, I will do a more detailed identification before cooking it up for the family. They call these "The Prince" around here.

The Prince is a common name for A. augustus. Maybe do a spore print, just to be sure. Did you find a lot?

This is the second one to show up (see my previous post). The deer got the first one and have now ate it down to the ground.

It smells like sweet almonds.

The scent is right. And that deer eat it, makes it sound like food. That's how I first found white chanterelles.
