Hello (:, thank you very much for the correction&direction. It is certainly not a Tricholoma & the absence of a ring with the grey colouration on the cap ... i am thinking the vaginata.

Hi! That's a beautiful set of pictures, but I think it should be an Amanita, instead of Tricholoma portentosum. T. portentosum has no striate capmargin, but the whole cap is slightly fibrillose. I think that if you check the local Amanitas from the section Vaginata, you'll come out with a better suiting name:)
