Thanks RandyL for comment. I'll do some further research on amanita series.

Wow! It appears to be an Amanita species, but a totally warped one! Cool find.

Thanks for comment gully.moy. I think it is one of the prettiest mushrooms I've seen.

Mental! My guess is that this species of mushroom doesn't usually look like this, but it's a somewhat deformed specimen. Could be wrong, either way - cool find!
