Notes: This mushroom is definitely an Amanita. I suspect it is A. Muscaria var. alba because it has all the defining characteristics of A. Muscaria, with white coloring. The stem is beefy, unlike a lot of other white amanitas, and also has the shaggy area above the base. I do find other Amanitas here that may resemble A. Muscaria (sometimes white, sometimes yellow), however, their warts are easily rubbed off, while on these specimens the warts are much more bound to the cap. Also, the other varieties I find have thinner stems, and often do not show the shaggy area at the base.
