US Mid-Atlantic region. Young farm cat for size.

Found it while visiting a sunflower farm. Cat seemed about 1 year old (or younger).

Looks a bit like Amanita muscaria; but it's white.

Definitely not an amanita if that was actually in question

Tried to get a picture of the underside. Seems like gills.
Best I could do with my phone, while providing the farm cat with pets.

I'm also sure it's not amanita sp. Could you take a picture of the base?

Sadly I cannot; I didn't realize at the time that the base was worth photographing for ID. I'll remember next time I see something interesting.
