[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
We have moved from Liege center town to a house with a garden. Three days ago I noticed this small mushroom. Yesterday it was fully growned (picture tomorrow). I think it might be a Panther cap (Amanita pantherina), also known as the False Blusher. It is a poisonous mushroom found in woodland throughout Europe, western Asia and North America. But it is not the season it suppose to appear (alte summer - beginning of autumn)

Nous avons déménagé du centre de ville de Liège pour une maison avec un jardin. Il y a trois jours j'ai remarqué ce petit champignon. Hier il avait terminé sa croissance. Je pense qu'il s'agit d'une amanite panthère. Mais ce n'est pas la saison : il est supposé apparaître fin de l'été et début de l'automne.

La chair de ce champignon est blanche et inodore et il est généralement solitaire. C'est un toxique sévère provoquant une surexcitation se traduisant par de l'hypertension, une augmentation du rythme cardiaque, du délire et des hallucinations pouvant amener au décès s'il n'y a pas hospitalisation rapide.

How lucky to have this beauties in your garden.
You are right this are usually found in autumn, but if there is good conditions in spring, is not rare to find some of them.
The image is a bit dark for my personal taste, but has nice compositoin, colours and DOF offers a good detail.
Thanks and regards.
