    The location would point to Amanita muscaria var. guessowii.

        You are quite welcome! Your shot is so dreamy! <3

        If you are ever back in the US, you should come for a hike with me in the southern Appalachians! <3         Posted 3 years ago

    Just for reference, this is a decent map for Muscaroid distribution in the US.
