My brother stopped to send me a pic of this massive mushroom

This thing is massive!! You can even see its skirt! Fair to say it's at least an amanita??

A few weeks ago we were all camping and I took his kids out with mine to look for mushrooms. It is the cutest thing to hear a three year old call you over to see the mushroom they found. (We regularly reminded each other that we don't eat mushrooms we find in the trees.)

Anyway, so it was really sweet of him to send this to me and I can't believe how big it is. Like it was big enough for him to see it and decide to pull over, haha!

Sorry if this breaks the usual guidelines, but I thought it was fun. Found near Grimshaw, Alberta, Canada.

Look like Fly Agarics but no ring?

Hi, I'm very new to this, but I'm having a lot of fun!

All three of these were found in northwestern Alberta, Canada. The middle one (pics 3&4) were found on our acreage, but the others were found camping at a lake 2 hours away (but in different areas of the park).

The last one (pics 5&6) seem to fit a classic description of a yellow Fly Agaric, complete with a ring on the stem. The first two mushrooms seem like they're the same kind, but don't have a ring; and so I was just wondering if that happens sometimes? Are they the same kind of mushroom or something else? (or maybe all three are actually different??)
