They look like Amanitas, but I wouldn't eat them. Wait for another ID though because I'm not completely sure.

Did you snap that photo yourself? If so, nice job.
If you pulled the photo from another site, than that is no way to get a valid ID. You can't just say "hey i found mushrooms that look just like this, what are they?". It just doesn't work that way.
They clearly appear to be Amanita muscaria var. muscaria or one of its several other close variations.
Again, real nice picture.

For identifying Amanita mushrooms it is important to see the entire mushroom, base and veil included.
Nice picture opportunity tho, i've always wanted to find Fly Agarics..

We would need to see the base of the mushroom to tell you for sure. In "your" picture the bases are buried in the grass.

Amanita muscaria grows under pine. It doesn't really care about the apples and brown shit.

No, many deadly species of Amanita also grow with pine.
Without a good clear picture of the base of the stalk, we are just guessing. There are at least three other red Amanita species which have white spots.

When identifying Amanita mushrooms to species, the type of volva is important to determine which clade ths mushroom is in. For example, all mushrooms closely related to the death cap have a sac-like vulva.
Without a clear picture of the base, the following mushrooms can be mistaken for Amanita muscaria:
Amanita flavoconia:

Amanita frostiana:

Amanita subflavoconia:

A. pantherina also looks a little like Amanita flavoconia. Both flavoconia and rubescens have amyloid spores whereas pantherina?s spores are nonamyloid.
