Amanita muscaria variety?

Habitat: Where does it grow? It was found in a lawn under an oak or some sort of deciduous tree. Not totally sure. I can check.
This is in the willamette valley. Gills: White I believe. They're not well developed. (I left a few to grow up)
Stem: Rather thick. 1-1.5 inches. Cap: Red/white - looks like the iconic muscaria to me. Don't want to eat a death cap though.. Spore print color: I'm the worst. I started drying it.
Bruising: None very noticeable.
Smells like other mushrooms. I don't think they were developed enough to produce a viable spore print.

Thank you. For future reference, I looked up a number of the Amanita look alikes, but none seemed to have the red-white speckled coloring. I understand the other Amanitas can be deadly poisonous with their cool RNAP inhibitors and such, but do ANY of them have this red-white speckled coloring that are also dangerous? It seems like a very easy indicator/identifier to me, but I want to be 100% sure obviously

Are you planning on eating these? I do not know of any look alikes for Amanita muscaria.

Yes I am planning on eating these. I understand the potency can vary quite a lot? Thanks for replying. I don't mean to be annoying, and I did my research on look-alikes, but I just wanted to solicit some assurance to be sure.
I have eaten Amanitas before, but they were from a vendor. Never harvested them before. In fact, first time I've seen them wild. I've correctly identified Panaeolus cinctulus back home (in CA), but moving up here to Oregon recently, where there's so many mushrooms has got me excited but naturally wary.

Your good, they are A. muscaria. Be safe when eating them - dose low until you can gauge your tolerance/potency or you might end up having a very unpleasant time.
