These Yellow mushrooms were found growing in a wooded area of pine trees.
I am not sure what kind of mushrooms these are.

A beautiful mushroom, this species of Amanita is smaller, more graceful, and less warty than the yellow form of Amanita muscaria, which it is often mistaken for. A close look at the base of the stem will quickly separate the two mushrooms; Amanita flavoconia lacks the distinctive concentric rings found on Amanita muscaria. Instead, the stem base is only slightly swollen (if at all), and is decorated with fragile yellow remains of the volva. The patches of volval tissue are easily lost in the collection process, so be sure to examine the stem base carefully as you dig it up.
Other distinguishing features for Amanita flavoconia include its bright yellow or orangish cap with fragile patches, and the lack of any "blushing" (as in Amanita flavorubescens). Amanita flavoconia is found under hardwoods and conifers in eastern North America. #9151976
