Amanita Research Forum

I cannot tell as I just started foraging for Amanita's. I'm really looking for all amanitas and not just Muscaria. Did I stumble upon Pantherina or possibly a Regalis? I didn't pick the patch because I want to let them grow some more before I do grab them for spore prints (I want to start a collection). If this is Regalis or Pantherina can they be used the same way Muscaria? All the information on the net just blindly lumps them with Musc and say's Poisonous do not ingest so it's hard to find anything I find on Amanita's to be credible.

If the images don't show I will also attach the files.

On another note I did in fact find my first Muscaria!

Not sure what the mushroom on the first picture is, looks pretty mushed the other two looks like pantherinas to me, I'm not an expert though.
