Amanita caesarea complex
Orange cap, yellowish white gills, ring on stem, stem often ornamented with chevrons to base, large egg-like cup about base when found growing (often removed for sale in markets, as here in Mexico)
on the ground in forested areas
an edible mushroom but arguably not as good as the "true" Amanita caesarea from Europe Danger: Some other species of Amanita are quite toxic. Not something for beginners to attempt to identify to eat!
