Types of yellow Amanitas

I've found a few different patches of Amanitas. First, I found some VERY light amanitas but have a light yellow tint to them and have white specks on the caps. Are these edible? They aren't the completely paper white ones.
The second patch are very dark yellow with yellow specks on the caps. I suspect Amanita flavoconia, Amanita muscaria var. guessowii, Amanita muscaria var. formosa or possibly Amanita flavorubescens. How can I tell which one of these is the kind that I've found? And as long as it's not paper white, does that mean it's edible after being heated? I don't have a camera so I can't post pics. I've been researching this for awhile and I can't figure out if it's okay to just eat amanita's that aren't completely white..too many in my area to just walk by and not examine.

And another question, what are some common yellow/red amanitas that could be mistaken for that are actually deadly? I don't want to pick any look-alikes and end up dead..

Post this in the mushroom hunting and identification forum and include pics if possible. No one will give a positive ID without pics of an amabita... too many look a likes

... this is the cultivation forum. Amanitas are generally microrhizal. Meaning that they have a symbiotic relationship with the roots of certain trees. Since they cant be cultivated, then you may not get many replies.
People browsing this forum are less likely to be interested in wild mushrooms... therefore you will get more replies with information that you are looking for in the MH&I forum.
I just so happen to be interested in the mushrooms that you mentioned, but without pics, it would be hard to determine what you have. If they are muscaria, then they can be consumed, but there is certain prep needed first.

I wouldn't say "can't", I would say "haven't". If you can match the exact conditions, anything can be cultivated.
I am attempting to cultivate Amanita Muscaria right now. I have spores as well as dried caps that I will be attempting to inoculate a potted blue spruce and birch tree with. Because of the relationship these mushrooms have with these particular trees, this is not an easy task at all. I wouldn't say it's impossible or that it can't be done, but the odds are not in my favor.
@ OP, As someone who has been finding Amanita's for years I can tell you that you should really know what you have before ingesting, because these can be misidentified easier than most think. Posting pics in the Hunting and Identification section should be your first step.
