If you wanted to take a spore print you'd pick the top off mid open, after the ring has formed.The fly agarric or whatever don't you leave em till they fully spread out flap top?
If you wanted to just eat it then a shroom about that same stage as the photo but picked early to mid August would be perfect.
Not that it's advisable to be eating fresh Fly Agaric.
