Gotcha ... I'm new to fungi, but learn something with every (no such thing as a dumb) question I ask. Thanks again.

Nope, Amanita vaginata is an European species, this is another species in the large sect. Vaginatae. If you really want to know what this is I would suggest collecting specimens and contacting ret (The guy behind Amanitaceae.org). You can find him at mushroomobserver.org

Thank you, orbea, I appreciate the ID on my mushroom. Would the scientific name be stated as Amanita vaginata?
