After being in a similar area today, am suggesting this may be an Amanita sp but need to see greater detail to be more confident with an ID

Thank you - I just don't know what to provide with photos of fungi?

@LisaH you are doing terrific with some great images -
basically we need to see all aspects of the fungi including the base of the stem and how it attaches to the substrate.
(Amanita sp tend to show a bulbous base ), others have quite a different type of attachment to either wood or into the earth.
Caps can be hairy, smooth split and of course gills & pores are also important to show their size and shape and attachment to the stem.
Do keep going, these are great.
