Gold top refers to the colour of the cap of the p.cubensis mushroom. It grows in cow poo during the warmer months. And another mushroom with similar appearance that grows in winter in state pine forests and amongst eucalypts. Also there is the amanita muscaria with the red cap and white dots (the caterpillar in Alice in wonderland is seen smoking opium on it in the illustrations) but I wouldn't go there. If you want to pick your own be careful with identification.
