Are these Amanita Muscaria? (HQ Pics)

I was in my shrooming spot today in upstate SC and I found what I think to be Amanita Muscaria. They were right on the side of the trail growing around pine trees. They are not the normal blood red but I think that may be because it has rained the last 2 days and it's near the end of their growing season.
If these are Amanita muscaria I was wondering what the best way to prep them would be. And if it's ok to use the ones with some yellow on them. Thanks in advance!

Those are Amanita muscaria var. persicina.
A good way to prep them is to toss them in a pot of boiling water for 5 minutes, then discard the water and fry the mushrooms in grape seed oil.

^Try eating a small one fresh too, make sure you take some Acetyl L-Cysteine or Garlic with it though.

they are safe to eat. you will want to dry them in your oven at the lowest temp until completely dry. this will convert some of the ibotenic acid into the desired chemical, muscarine. eating them raw will almost gaurantee you puke...alot. you may also vomit after cooking them, but it will not be as bad. when i dose on them i take a couple of caps and make tea with it, because i find it easier to consume, and easier on my stomach. Do not eat this expecting a psilocybin type high, they are not even close. i would compare it to a drunk-high feeling, only clear minded and able to process my thoughts as if i were sober. You should definately do some research on them before you consume, so you have an idea of what to expect. These mushrooms are illegal to consume, so everything here is just an example of what i choose to do, and i am in no way advising you to consume any illegal substances... and yes, the ones with yellow on them are the same, therefore are ok to eat
