Looks like an Amanita, possibly muscaria var. formosa or a similar species, but I could be wrong. It doesn't look to be in very good condition, a better pic of a fresh specimen would be helpful.

In the days when I still messed around with muscaria, I had a few rules that I liked to follow to get the best specimens:

- Only collect red muscaria to avoid any possible confusion with other Amanitas. The Amanita genus contains some of the most deadly mushroom toxins in the world, in high concentrations. There are yellow muscarias, but there are also deadly Amanitas which could be confused for a yellow muscaria. I stayed away from those. The redder the muscaria, the better in my opinion (not necessarily more 'potent', but fresher).

- Only collect young specimens, preferably unbroken. In my area, muscarias get infested with worms very quickly. You could pretty much count on the mature specimens being infested. The young buttons were typically much cleaner. Also, mature specimens are still dropping their spores, so leave those to keep the population strong.

- Throw out any specimens with the slightest sign of infestation. If you are trying to dry a large batch of muscaria, a single infested mushroom can ruin an entire batch.

But I don't mess with muscaria anymore, though they're still my favorite mushroom on the entire planet. Too many nights of extreme nausea and vomiting with very little psychoactive payout. The potency of populations has extreme variation depending on the habitat. European muscaria are reportedly much more psychoactive, many North American populations are rumored to have no psychoactivity in comparison.

So I should crumble it up near that tree then? To at least spread the species also the cap was torn up because it was growing between some large rocks

That's essentially what would happen to it anyway. Some people crumble morels into a bucket of water and nutrients to make a "spore spawn", and then pour the spawn around the tree where the morels were originally found. Stamets and other mycologists have shown this to be an effective way to boost the populations of mushrooms which are difficult or impossible to cultivate by conventional means. The water helps carry the spores down into the soil.

I might actually take it home and do it there so more will grow in a closer vicinity
