it shows the white gills and universal veil of the genus. beyond that, and over in OZ…indeed, for a good ID we would need to see this cute little fellow all growed up.

Jeff, do you have an ID image (the same or similar,)for comparison. This is obviously a young specimen, making ID difficult. Many thanks, kk
Thanks folk for the replies. There were many Amanita in the area in different stages of growth, so it goes without any further ado to Amanita sp. Chow, kk
