Ok Antonio. I did not realize that. I guess I'm taking things so seriously that I forgot to have some humor hehe

Its not big Antonio. Its just an illusion by having the fungus near the camera and the person at the background. You should reference the fungus with the grass below it.

I'd say The Blusher (Amanita rubescens) on first and last two pic's. Very maybe Amanita spissa/A. excelsa on 2nd and 3rd. But if it's all on the same spot, it should be Amanita rubescens.
