Amanita rubescens
to differentiate it from Amanita pantherina: - Flesh turns red when damaged (not seen in pictures) - ring is striate on upper surface (third picture) - top of volva is indistinct rings of floccose tissue rather than a distinct band (third picture) It should be noted that A. pantherina does NOT always have a distinct band at top of volva
