Youre right that amanita can be yellow, this looks more like amanita flavoconia aka yellow patches due to the yellow stipe and, well, patches lol. Amanita muscaria var. Guessowii (the yellow amanita youre referring to) has a white stipe and white patches and is usually a much paler shade of yellow.
