A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Amanita muscaria var. formosa
cap 2 1/2 inches diameter and as tall
spotted in mixed woods
I'd go for the Death Cap as well. (and basicly you can trust Vlad in his suggestions - he's quite awesome with it).
The Death Cap is called Grüner Knollenblätterpilz in Germany, meaning Green (not yellow) Amanita
Another good candidate, lightworkerpeace. This is why I have so much respect for "fungi folk".
Thanks for the suggestion, Vlad. I will revisit this one because there are many similarities. I came to the ID based on a preios spotting nearby:

Need to see base of stem (bulb). It's possible it's in the Amanita gemmata group.
