Help a noobie identify this Amanita?

Hello, basically a noobie here. I've had an interest is mycology for a little while. But it recently sparked back when my Grandmother (who knows of my interest) Randomly sent me these picture of the "cool mushrooms" she found at her campsite! I had a dear lord face when I saw that they were an Amanita variety. So I have pics, and only pics to go by so I am very sorry I cannot handle them in person. I had her pick one and take some shots for me. I believe this is Amanita Frostiana. However I just want to be sure it is not a Guessowii or Persicina variant of the Amanita Muscaria. Any help is appreciated.

I wouldn't say I'd put money on it, but I'm fairly confident in the ID.

That doesn't mean you can't be right or I can't be wrong.

Also notice the collar so high up. Seems to be more defining of Frostiana. However The Persicina LOVES pines so I dont know xD

It looks like persicina, but the location makes me think guessowii. The melon color on the young one and in the middle of the larger ones is what makes me lean towards persicina, but the location is a bit north for persicina.

Do they look a little bit dry to you? Could that cause the stem to "skinny up"? I have another thread with photos that were IDd as persicina. Not by a TI, though. I went back and picked another bunch. My husband thinks I'm nuts. Anyway, I soooo want to eat them, but for now just watching them dry out.

Oh, I know. And thanks. Going on my new dehydrator tomorrow. Thanks for just confirming again. It's weird, I know there is nothing else it could be, just making really, really, REALLY sure!
Took a hike in the rain today. Maybe you guys can help me ID these. Working on new posts now.
