Two mushrooms I photographed in Shindagin Hollow State Forest a few miles from my farm.
@UP8 it's possibly Amanita jacksonii https://www.mushroom-appreciation.com/caesar-mushrooms.html
@mjambon i don't think that the cap opens up when it gets bigger
my Polish relatives taught me to pick quite a few Boletus (no gills) mushrooms but never anything red
@UP8 you can tell they're amanitas because we can see the edge of the volva on the specimen in the back (the white sac at the base). They should open up unless something goes really wrong for them because that's how amanitas release their spores.
@mjambon now that i think of it i have seen red mushrooms that look like the photo in the web page you linked in that area, and not the very common Muscaria
