Super sized Amanita muscaria found in Seattle, WA (PICS)

Today during my lunch break I headed to a local park for a short mushroom hunt.
As I was parking my car, I found the biggest Fly Agaric I've ever seen.
The stem had a diameter of nearly 2 inches. When this thing matures, I plan on sending spores to Free Spores Canada and Free Spores Europe. This is some very healthy DNA. Pics....

Very choice, they seem to get big around here. Found these last weekend, lighter included for scale.

if you called that super-sized, id call the ones i found two dayz ago gigantuan-sized! i found like 15 of them in this little area all spreaded out. it was crazy because i spotted them from like 15-20 yards away! i saw them from a distance and was like , theres only one mushroom i know of that can get that big and its gotta be some gigantic amanitas! they were that damn big. Like half of them had caps the diameter of a basketball, probably even bigger, and i know exactly how wide a basketball is...;)
