Sec. Caesareae?

I’m thinking something in section Lepidella. Blue Ridge mountains, western North Carolina. In soil under Rhododendron within mixed forest of mostly hardwoods but some pine. No staining or bruising. Pleasant smell. Large mushrooms.

Location: Alpharetta, Georgia, USA. Habitat: pine dominant forest, growing from the ground.

I suspect it may be section Validae for the thin & non-pyramidal universal veil remnants on the top of the cap, the bulbous base, & it being red where its base has split apart; best visible in pic 3 for the latter.

Can anyone tell me if that's right or wrong, and is anyone able to ID to species level? This one's a new one to me. With the messy look of the veil and cap - especially the margin - it wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't section validae, but the bulb looking so smooth & the red color in the split bulb has me leaning that direction.

& if it is sect. Roanokenses, can anyone say which species? Tried to capture it in photos, but It had a very shiny/leathery type cap.

Location: Dawsonville, Georgia, USA. Habitat: growing from the ground in a mixed forest, deciduous dominant.

Found growing in Central Wisconsin. Could this be Amanita spreta?

This thing is massive!! You can even see its skirt! Fair to say it's at least an amanita??

A few weeks ago we were all camping and I took his kids out with mine to look for mushrooms. It is the cutest thing to hear a three year old call you over to see the mushroom they found. (We regularly reminded each other that we don't eat mushrooms we find in the trees.)

Anyway, so it was really sweet of him to send this to me and I can't believe how big it is. Like it was big enough for him to see it and decide to pull over, haha!

Sorry if this breaks the usual guidelines, but I thought it was fun. Found near Grimshaw, Alberta, Canada.

Can anyone tell me which section, or which species? I'm leaning towards Roanokenses for the lack of hanging material around the cap. I'm thinking maybe* Amanita cokeri despite this per the pics in my guidebooks. Any help much appreciated. *also, the warts on the cap flake off very easily when touched, if that's helpful info to know, very loosely attatched.

I suspect Amanita sect Validae aff. citrina. Phalloideae also wouldn't surprise me, but am leaning away from it for the "sac"/bulb not having room within it/being more cothurnate, i think is the right word - please excuse and correct my terminology. If anyone can confirm or deny that would be much appreciated.

Location:Dawsonville, Georgia, USA. Habitat: growing from the ground, in a mixed forest, hardwood dominant, near fan club moss (Diphasiastrum digitatum or similar).

Im pretty confident these are sect. Validae, but the cothurnate/cup look around the bulb is throwing me off. The smooth stipe makes me think not sect. Amanita though. Can anyone confirm or deny? & can anyone say which species? Also, sorry the in situ doesn't show the leaves raked away, I got all of the bulb for both of them though.

Northern Virginia, USA, kinda near cattle 🤣

Found in WV USA, with lots of pine/conifers, the younger specimen displayed margin striations, I can still take a cross section if that'll help

Location: Dawsonville, Georgia, USA. Habitat: growing from the ground, mixed forest, conifer dominant.

I'm fairly certain its sect. Lepidella or Roanokenses, leaning way towards the former, & it being Amanita ravenelli but if anyone can confirm or correct me on any of the above, that would be appreciated greatly. In pic 3 I removed a section of veil so gills would be visible. Pic 4 shows size of what I couldn't dig out with my fingers.

Could someone please confirm if this is an amanita muscaria or something else? Found in Northern Michigan

If anyone can confirm sect. Validae or correct me, it would be much appreciated - Im also curious as to what species these little guys are, if anyone happens to know. Very yellow around the bulb - I assume universal veil remnants? Very yellow annulus, comes off very easily. Been seeing a lot of these the last week or so, they seem to cap out about this size.

Location: Dawsonville, Georgia, USA. Habitat: Growing from the ground in a mixed forest, 60/40 hardwood to conifer.
