ID Request - Amanita Muscaria var. guessowii ?
    #29649724 -

Habitat:
NE USA.
Mixed coniferous biome. Growing out of dirt, lots of long (eastern white pine?) needle about. Specimens found within ~8 feet of each other.

Gills:
White, detached/free.

Stem:
Large specimen:
8 inch stem length x 1.25 inch diameter
A partial "bulb"/fatness at the base is present, along with a series of fluffy rings rising ~1" up the stalk. Above those are a series of light "scales". The possible remnants of an annulus are visible, hard to be certain. No volval sack.

Small specimen:
4.5 inch stem length x 1 inch diameter
No "bulb"/fatness at base. A series of fluffy rings rising ~1.5 inches up the stalk. Above these are a series of "scales". Annulus not visible, but I can see some veil-remnants still attached to gills, which were eaten pretty well by a slug :frown:

Cap:
Large specimen:
8 inch cap diameter

Center is ruddy-yellow-orange, fading to light yellow at the margin. Margin is striate. Veil remnants are white-yellow at "cleanest", browner at other spots.

Small specimen:
3.5 inch cap diameter

Center is yellow-orange fading to yellow at the margin. Veil remnants are white-yellow.

Spore print color:
Not collected, assuming it won't be necessary.

Bruising:
None noticed.

Other information:
See pictures for details.

Based on features + location, I am assuming Amanita Muscaria var. guessowii, but would like to be certain.

Also, the big one is huge. One of the biggest non-polypores mushrooms I've ever seen.
