Autumn fungi: amanitas on a lawn

Autumn fungi: amanitas on  a lawn

Amanitas are a group of gilled mushrooms which include the red capped fly agaric. Also in the group are some of the most deadly poisonous fungi (such as the appropriately named death cap) and others highly prized by gourmets.

These were too far away for a proper ID, but I think they were probably either the blusher or the panther, two species which are quite easy to confuse.
