Possible Amanitas Muscaria?

These were all found growing in an evergreen grown after a decent rain in southwestern Ontario. It's reasonably warm still, so the bugs were eating these guys up a bit right along with the slugs, but most appear to be ok. I'm fairly certain these are one of the psychoactive variants of Amanitas Muscaria. Thanks for any help in verifying or disproving this! More pictures can be provided if necessary. (Sorry for the light on the last few.)
Habitat: Found growing in a grove of evergreens
Gills: Color, attached/not, gills/pores, etc.
Stem: 4-6 inches long, 3/4 inch to 1 inch wide or more at the base, thick, off white color. Concentric rings characteristic of fly agaric barely noticable/almost nonexistent, as they are a bit slug-eaten.
Cap: 2-7 inches wide, dark orange in the center spreading out to light orange or yellow. Warts present. Spherical shape
Spore print color: Unknown
Bruising: Unknown
Other information: Scent of the mushroom, anything else you think is important, large close-up pictures showing stem, cap and gills.

Thanks for the reply! Should I end up cutting it into pieces, scraping the gills off, keeping the skin, and oven drying at 170F with the door open? I'm reading varying accounts of how effective this is.

If you wish to dry them for later I would cut them up and put them in front of a fan. A dehydrator would be best. Then put them in a jar when they are cracker dry.
To eat safely without effects, par boil them for seven minutes Drain water and repeat.

Amanita Muscaria var Formosa
Been seeing a lot of these this year, been debating try one just to see the effects. Been debating cutting them up fresh, making a tea, and saving the mushrooms to go with supper the following night. Trip is supposed to be something else, but I also hear these are quite tasty as well.
