Actually, if you look closely, you'll notice the brown gills and the brown staining of the capmargine. An Amanita citrina has white gills, like most of the Amanitas. Also the cap looks too 'soft', too fibrous, while the Amanita has a skin that can reflect. I think you have shot an Agaricus species, or maybe an Agrocybe-like mushroom, but it is most definately not an Amanita.
