Amanita Muscaria Identification, sketchy.

Habitat North East portland under a pine that had a gray color with some blackened discoloring. The ground was soft most likely from the large colonization 20+ pounds.
Gills White, not attached to the stem.

Stem
 Length: 8-10 inches. Diameter: 2-6 inches Color: White, pure. Texture: Solid, lined, some fuzz, shavings, thick, brittle.
Cap Diameter: 6-12 inches young - mature. Color: This is why im sketchy about it; there were other mushrooms around the area that had all the same characteristics but were ghost white, others were yellow fading white and only a select few "In the shade" had a red/orange color. This leads me to believe either more then one species was in the excavation or it was predominant with weathered attributes. Texture: Sticky, soft, smooth, fuzzy warts.
Concave.
Spore print color:

Bruising: None.
Other information: Smells like all mushrooms, flies were attracted to caps; got me thinking "fly agaric......" FLY AGARIC! HERE I COME SHROOMERY!
But im thinking Chlorophyllum Mollybites but the stem wasn't simialer at all so that left me with one of the following "Fly Agaric, Flavoconia or Citrina." Honestly I would have gone with my instinct and labeled it Citrina but Muscaria could be found in different color spectrum's like yellow, white and even orange with a solid color at the very tip of the mushroom cap; which is where most of the red is. Red coloration was also found on only halves of the shrooms like the direction the sun faced.
I also left a large portion of them out of image reach, and the most mature was left out cause the cap fell apart on the ride home but it was concave.
Anyway I could buy a mushroom testing kit?

concentric rings on the base of the mushroom is what youre going to want to look for when identifying muscaria

More of a spirit quest active than a recreational active. Lots of body load and charged emotion. I like em personally but not often and most don't. Taking to much risks vomit aspiration so get a babysitter.

Im so excited!! so... I have more then enough to eat; does anyone have a good Erowid link with pricing as well? per Gram preferably.
Im not new to the shroom scene but I have never ingested Amanita's let alone seen one.
Eat em fresh or dry? If dry, what sort of method would u guys prefer that's low cost if completely free from househole products.

I don't agree with var.guessowii but it is a muscaria variant none the less.

google them, you're going to need to do your research. If you don't you can have a very unpleasant time. You might have a very unpleasant time anyway, many people don't enjoy them.

To my knowledge guessowii doesn't grow on the west coast. They look rather like older washed out var. formosa. Purely academic tho. Changes nothing.

Excuse me? Please dont spam my threads with ignorant ramble that is signified as "mental retardation noises" it's not only unproductive and insulting to myself and the unfortunate but is incoherent to very important information; this is on the border of passive aggression or even blatant for that matter. Please think carefully when making indirect statements on a thread that requires vital academia.
Please reiterate so that I may be enlightened.
If you meant disrespect I will have to report you to the moderators and I suggest you stay out of the identification inquiry section before you murder someone with false information.

Yes. -She- was only singing the Mario Brothers tune. 
Ahem...(kettle paging pot)
To be fair, the only reason I found this thread in the first place is because I followed the link you spammed in Miggy128's post, so I didn't think you'd mind a good non-sequitur. Your mushroom looks like , dig?
I'm not trying to be a dick here y'all, but this is not some sort of academic mycological association. This is the Shroomery. We're all a bunch of stoners that are here because we appreciate (read: "like to trip balls off of") Mother Nature's glorious Gateway to the Gods: the psychoactive mushroom. AND...the forums exist because we like to get into dick measuring contests about how much more we know than the other guy about (primarily psychoactive) mushrooms. The fact that most of us in MH&I became interested in other non-psychoactive fungi is incidental. Most of the posts on this board consist of, "Hey, I found this mushroom...will I trip if I eat it?" anyway...which I gather was the gist of this post in the first place. We need to lighten up for reals. Just sayin'.
