Very happy I captured two in action - see the second photo
Growing under large callitris tree
Masses of it throughout the forest
Nearby trees are wattle, sheoak, eucalyptus. Largest cap was 25cm wide, but quite rotten. Caps are slightly flat, a little umbonate with slight bump that is more yellow. Several have have partial veil still attached. Stipe is fibrous.
Growing in several large clusters. Spore white. Margin curls under, stipe a little scaled. The flesh is white and some have striations on margin, some don’t. Caps are wavy on mature ones.
The photos attached were taken on two seperate occasions. They are slightly waterlogged in the first few photos.
Nearby trees are eucalyptus blakelyi, acacia, eucalyptus polyanthemos
Specimens have been kept, let me know if you would like samples
Cap measures approx 2cm wide.
Cap umbilicate with small, dark green depression that is off-centre. Margin scalloped with prominent green and yellow striations.
Gills attach to the stipe and are pale cream with dark green on the edge of each lamellae. Lamellae appear to have textured markings but hard to see with naked eye.
Gills are wavy and not uniform.
Slight scales on cap.
Stipe dark green with lighter green towards base.
Spore light brown in colour.
Growing around eucalyptus forest
Specimen has been kept
Cap has large raised warts with a slight blush pink colour between them. Margin has very delicate veil remnants, like a curtain, which fall off easily.
Gills are crowed, cream, attached to stipe. The smaller specimen has annulus still attached whereas the larger specimen has slight remnants.
Large basal volva, covered in raised warts, tapering off to an oblong shape.
Unpleasant smell
Both are growing at the base of eucalyptus trees in seperate areas.
Spore white
Growing under callitris
Spore print pale peach in colour
White with beige/light brown coloured warts on the cap that are larger in the centre of the cap. Gills are white, attached to the stipe. Annulus is very delicate, faintly striate, attached right under the gills.
Growing in eucalyptus bushland
Growing on a burnt log. Texture was dry, powdery and crunchy. Reminds me of meringue. Dry slime mould maybe?
Cap dark orange-brown with scales. Pores and stipe vibrant yellow. Stipe club shaped.
Near instantaneous blue staining when cut. Blue staining more prominent near on the cap and base of stipe. Deep red colouring at base of stipe.
Growing in a clearing near one small eucalyptus
Growing at the base of an ironbark
Pores and surface of stipe is red. The flesh is white but stains red when cut. The tubes are yellow and stain blue/green when cut. Unfortunately plenty of tiny maggots upon cutting.
Cap is dark brown with gold/cream coloured warts. Gills are white, attached to the stipe. Annulus is membranous, faintly striate, creamy yellow, and skirt-like and golden brown along it’s edge, the same colour as the warts on the cap.
The surface of the stipe is white with yellow warts on the basal bulb.

See photos including keys for size reference!! Very impressive!!
Two next to each other, right at the car park
Mass of fungi over/in whole tree which has fallen from fire damage. Please see photos of underside
A warm day so it looked a little sad
I found 3 plants, one had dry flowers and large green seed pods (I assume are seed pods)
