Greg ...

I posted some photos of some mushrooms that showed up in my garden for the first time this year. We had an usually wet fall. I havn't had time to take more photos, but they are still around. I posted photos on the ID Forum.

The thread "Mushroom ?" in Plant ID forum

This is a really old thread but I decided to post anyway.

Those are the classical storybook picture of Amanita muscaria (fly agaric). A. muscaria is usually red capped in the Old World and on the West side of the Coast Range in Oregon and Washington. On the Willamette Valley side, they are usually orange.

Those are huge. The mycelium must have been growing for years before it decided to cast those fruiting bodies.

Thanks Bill for all the info! That sounds about right!
