Size: Unsure, maybe ~1-1.5 in.
Spotted on some mushrooms in a hardwood forest
Didn't look too intimidated by me taking a picture. Saw it scurry a couple inches when I approached but it stayed there until I walked off

Moved
Moved from Thinlegged Wolf Spiders. Dolomedes have a lot of erect spines too. Moved based on dorsal pattern and eye arrangement in enlarged view.

 
Doh!

Moved from ID Request.

Wolf spider
I see thin legs and erect spines which suggests the genus Pardosa.
