Mushroom identification on the Internet is very unreliable and dangerous. Even though Amanita muscaria is a very unique-looking mushroom, many species of the genus Amanita are deadly poisonous (as I'm sure SWIY knows). SWIY should consider joining a local mycology club.

Looks like Amanita Muscaria var. formosa to SWIM but could it be a Pantherina?

[AetherPoison]

Pantherina generally have more of a brown coloration if i am correct. that looks more like the yellow form of Amanita muscaria

[Routemaster Flash]

That's definitely not a pantherina, they're a much darker liver-like brown colour. I'd say they're almost certainly a yellow variety of muscaria, though I should add that I've never personally seen any like that since I live in Britain and we only get the classic bright red ones.

Picked one today, in fact.

And the appearance of the Amanita Sp. varies widely in different locations. For the North Country of New England - those would appear to look like A. Pantherina. But more extensive tests would be called for.
