Thank you "The MiesMeister" - I know very little about mushrooms, just love to photograph them. Appreciate your correction and explanation.

Hi! I can see why you id'd it Amanita ceasarea. But than it should have an orange cap, yellow gills, stipe and velum partiale (ring) and, most important, a white velum universale (volva around the base of the stipe). Therefore I suggest Amanita crocea var. subnudipes, because A. crocea has orange markings on the stipe, where the subnudipes variation has an entirely white one.
