What notes are in Daug?
Daug, D augmented, is D, F♯ and A♯: the root (D), the major third (F♯) and the augmented fifth (A♯). Its formula is 1 3 ♯5.
Why do Daug and two other augmented chords have the same notes?
An augmented chord is two major thirds stacked, D, F♯ and A♯, and a third more brings you back to D. So Daug has the same notes as the augmented chords on F♯ and A♯.
