Hi Bonnie. Just to follow up on Mauna's suggestion, I found the following: https://depositphotos.com/197531094/stock-photo-amanita-muscaria-red-poisonous-fly.html It is an Amanita muscaria - Red poisonous Fly Agaric mushroom and looks very much like yours. I think you got it Mauna (stay safe up there).
