Amanita species.
Almost certainly Amanita muscaria. There are no other Amanita species in Idaho with a cap like that.
The annulus is missing and the base of the stem is not visible, however those important identifying features are not needed in this case....

Just about 100%. I can't imagine what else it could be. Too red for A. gemmata or A. pantherina. And outside of Amanita section Amanita, the universal veil does not break up into spots like that.

More pictures of more fruit bodies in more stages of development. Or take photos of the spores with a microscope, and check with iodine to see if the spores are amyloid.
I believe that all of the deadly Amanitas have amyloid spores, and that A. muscaria does not.
But really there is no reason to do that. Despite the photo quality, there really are no other Amanita species in Idaho with pink caps and widely distributed spots.

Fry it in butter until it turns light brown, and add a tiny bit of salt and pepper. Only eat a couple bites. If you eat more than 2 bites you might puke or get somewhat drunk.
