Great pictures! I just went on a foray today myself -- only found this unidentifiable polypore, though, but a good walk nonetheless.
I thought I might suggest that that Amanita is actually Amanita muscaria var. formosa, which has a yellow-to-beige cap. A. pantherina tends to have more dry and radially-lined scaly gold-to-brown gaps, rather than the more uniform and viscid cap of A. muscaria.
Fun fact! A. muscaria is actually edible by boiling the sliced up mushroom in a few changes of salted water (possibly unsalted, have yet to try this), and is said to be delicious. This leeches out all the muscimol and ibotenic acid, which make it psychoactive and partially toxic (it's really only deadly in huge amounts of raw flesh). It is served as a delicacy this way in certain areas of Japan.
