It's difficult to tell from the photos, but it's not unusual for A. rubescens to be appearing around this time. In some years, they are so plentiful that you might start wondering if there's any other Amanita species in existence! But a caution: If you're even thinking of eating it, DON'T! Even if it IS Amanita rubescens (which many field guides say is edible), there are too many close lookalikes growing in the northeast that are deadly poisonous to take that chance. If more come out, try photographing as close to the base as you can and try bruising the base and stem to see if there's any color reaction. Post those photos and I'll take another look.
