Amanita crocea (orange grisette)?

[FlytrapStore.com]

Found these near the bottom of a ravine in a hilly area of southeastern Missouri. They were mostly growing near oak trees with some cedars in the area as well.

 

I haven't taken a spore print yet but am hoping someone might be able to ID them from the photos. 

 

Thanks for any input!

They look like Amanita section Ceasareae, maybe A. banningiana ( a small northern Amanita) or A. arkansana ( a large southern Amanita).

Awesome, thanks! 

After a bit more research, I believe they are A. arkansana. Thanks again, bobby b!

These look more like A. arkansana than A. banningiana. The cap color and yellow patches on the stalk point toward the former. 

With very few exceptions worldwide, mushrooms representing species of Amanita section Vaginatae (grisettes) do not have partial veil and thus do not from a ring on the stalk.

Got it, thanks so much Dave W!

I agree after a few hours of research, reading, and looking at photos that these are almost certainly A. arkansana.

Additionally, given the area they were found in (about 50 miles south of St. Louis just a few miles west of the Mississippi River), it makes sense.
