Wild Mushrooms of Ainsworth: Salmon Amanita

SalmonAmanita
(Click on image to enlarge)

Found on the ground in Deep River County Park, on the slope west of the river.

Apparently their caps don't always develop the salmon color that gives the species its name, but you can see the characteristic faint yellow ring around the stem of the one on the right and the yellowish coloring around the basal bulbs.

I don't believe you have the correct ID for this mushroom. It has almost no characteristics of an amanita. Not sure what it is, but we have it here in the northwest in Washington state.
