yes those are amanita muscaria, they become more yellow if it has been dry and sunny, you can tell they are muscaria because they are darker in the center, if they were a different species they would be uniformly bright yellow. make sure you prepare them properly if you intend on eating them

it is always smart to wait for a second opinion too though

Thank you for your reply ! I am not sure how to prepare them, if you know of a good link as to how to do this it would be greatly appreciated. Should they be dry or raw? Also definitely want a second or third opinion. I want to make sure they aren't poisonous. I found a lot of them, cut them above base, and tapped on them to make sure the spores release onto ground. That way they can come back next year.

even if confirmed Muscaria the effects are far from desirable. Just my opinion. Psilocybin containing mushrooms are around for sure.https://www.shroomery.org/8461/Which-psilocybin-mushrooms-grow-wild-in-my-area

Those appear to be Amanita muscaria var. guessowii, but I cannot see your whole collection because it's so massive, and you being new to this and all, would feel horrible if you ingested a poisonous mushrooms which was mixed in your collection, happens all the time.
You always want to save the base with Amanita mushrooms, the base offers important clues to the identification of what species of Amanita you have. That whole tapping the cap thing is bogus, just don't go harvesting them with a shovel and pickax and they'll keep coming back.
There's a lot going on underneath the soil which cannot be seen, and plenty of life force (mycelium) there for them to grow again, plus they form associations with trees (mycorrhizal fungi) so they work with the host trees, so have the added energy of that on their side.
Also, your mushrooms aren't going to make you trip out and go to some magical world like Alice, you will probably wish you didn't eat them, they're more of a deliriant and not something one would take to have a nice trip. I have only found them useful for sleep tonics, and anti-anxiety medication, that was in small doses though.
Here's some further reading on your find.

every time I tried the oven method they just turned to mush and then blackened. Just use a food dehydrator, after identification remove the stems and dry the caps in a dehydrator, then when they are crispy dry you want to remove the gills as well. The heat changes the ibotenic acid to muscimol which is what gives you pleasant dreamlike effects, if you eat them raw the ibotenic acid will give you gastrointestinal distress and dilerium, not fun. Siberian shamans used to eat them raw and their bodies would refine the ibotenic acid to muscimol and then the other members of the tribe would drink the shamans urine to have a more pleasant experience.

For Amanita pantherina/Muscaria I dry them in the sun and place them in a coffee filter and secure it with a rubber band. Then I place it in a cup of HOT water for ten minutes. After it has steeped for about ten minutes I will squeeze the makeshift teabag making sure the muscimol has been transferred to the tea. After that i will Throw in real tea bags and a lot of sugar to make sure there isn't an unpleasent taste. Then I consume the tea. I use around 5 grams of pantherina or 15 grams of muscaria for my tea. Hope this is helpful if you are planning on consuming. The tea takes around 40 minutes to take effect.
