Amanita Caesarea?

Hey folks. I'd been foraging for amanita muscaria and came across these beauties which I think are amanita caesarea. I know that they grow in the location I forage (country sides of İstanbul) and am very confident about my identification. Still I would love to hear an expert opinion.
Sorry if I'm acting a little paranoid but I'm kinda new to the mushroom world and don't wanna get myself killed lol. Thanks in advance!

Although I'm fairly new to ID, I'm pretty sure you have Amanita Caesarea! Nice find! But yeah, good idea, let's just wait for the pros!

Thanks for the answer mate. What sources do you use to ID?
Also isn't there anybody to confirm my finds?

It's possible plenty have seen it and wondered if their field guides have Turkey covered. Also possible the site wasn't busy for a few hours. But it is A. caesarea on the basis Læssøe (go on, Google!) and Petersen say unmistakeable in a European context and primarily southern, or near as damn. Browse http://www.amanitaceae.org/. 
NB Also ZenZone was right that you were right.

As there are no other European species of Amanita that resemble A. caesarea, yours are without doubt that species. However you should always include pictures of the gills and the entire stem, alongside a description of the mushroom and its haibtat, for a proper identification. With Amanita species you should also be careful to dig the stem out of the ground to include the base and volva, if present.

Beautifull caesarea, 100%! It's been a long, long while since I've seen a perfect caesarea, in my area all of them are infected with Hypomyces before they even emerge from their "egg"! And it's now placed on the critically endangered species list. 10-15 years ago I used to pick hundreds. Now in the same area, they are all brown and gooey...
