Amanita muscaria var. muscaria or var. persicina

Question

Hey folks. I have never seen one myself before, but 2 doors down from my house in the Coffs Harbour hinterland, i stumbled upon this little beauty and was hoping for a positive ID.
I have no plans on doing anything with it either way, but just wanted to know what it was for posterity. The slightly orange edges of the cap made me think possibly var. persicina, but i'm an absolute beginner when it comes to mycology, so wanted further opinion.

Apparently it is becoming invasive, so i'm surprised  people aren't seeing them everywhere.

This mushy looking bugger was growing in very close proximity to it as well.
No idea what it is. Was about 20cm in diameter
All were amongst pine needles.

The cap just looks like its been sun bleached giving off that discoloured look, definitely an amanita muscaria. The second mushroom i have no idea what that is, a gill shot would of helped but oh well we dont think of these things sometimes when we are amazed by the beauty of the different fungi about! happy hunting!
