hello everyone... i've been an "incognito observer" of this site for the past two years and have come to appreciate the wealth of knowledge that floats around (i've certainly been saved from many potential stomach aches). i finally have a reason to make a first post! i am looking for a second (or third) opinion on the identification of a batch of interesting shrooms i located earlier today, i also have a few basic questions that may follow a positive i.d. (did not find specific answers during a search). feedback would be greatly appreciated! thanks!
Habitat: located in southeastern connecticut. area was littered with a combination of misc deciduous leaves, rotting piney conifer trees that had fallen and wood mulch of unknown composition. growing in a group from ground near rotting conifer trunks.
Gills: white gills with white spores
Stem: thick white stems with delicate yellowish veil ring at top (yellow on my fingers in picture), length varied, up to about 6" - 8" long shaggy with apparent rings near bottom (rings more defined on younger / smaller specimens), bulb (egg) shape at bottom, slightly thinner at top
Cap: collected cap sizes varied from approx 2" (closed) to 6" - 8" (open) orange and yellow with spotty remnants on top
Spore print color: white
Bruising: none

Yeah, Amanita muscaria var. guessowii.
What's an "incognito observer" it's not like you broke the law or anything, own that shit.
Welcome.

thank you for the reply...
you are correct, i haven't broken any laws with finding these.
an "incognito observer", meaning... as a guest, i have visited and enjoyed the site as a resource for information. i'm not concerned with joining an online social structure, so in those terms i had no desire to create an account. until now, i never needed a second opinion to i.d. something. it took two years of casual hunting to locate something that wasn't either deadly, uninteresting, or a regular l.b.m. the information contained within this site has helped to keep me from consuming something i shouldn't have. this find was more interesting in terms of usability, so i wanted the confirmation first. thanks again!
