Very hard a tuff polypore
This was on an Old Man Banksia
KoH staining dark brown/red
Found in the cracks and broken ends of a broken tree trunk of (I think) Acacia irrorata. About 10 m off the side path to Obi Obi Creek, on the Maleny Community Precinct trail, E of the golf course.
The pore surface somewhat resembles Hexagonia but the upper surface of the cap has a texture unlike what I’m used to on Hexagonia specimens.
White rotter.
Not collected.
Tiny fungi growing in wet soil with high moss cover. Habitat: Manna gum, Blue gum & Mountain gum/Candlebark Woodland, eastern slopes. Contumyces sp?
Pileus ochre 30-55 mm helmet or garden hat shape; gills very close weak milk coffee colour, fine serration of gill edges, occasional forking.
Pileus white tapering from 6-10 mm at attachment to 20 mm bulbous base.
Spore print brown. Spores almond shaped 12 x 6 um with 2 vacuoles.
Growing in grass. Stains blue, fluoresces yellow in UV 365 nm.Cap 40 mm, has suede leather look. Pores larger near stem ~345 um, and smaller at periphery ~185 um.
White-veiled stinkhorns. The ones with the dark-coloured eggs. Scores of them.
Solitary. Had fallen over but last picture shows where it came from. Growing in sandy soil under casuarinas near the beach. Had a strong fungi aroma which drew us to it in the first place.
The spore print is brown. The spore itself is spherical, 5µm in diam. Most of spores have a stalk of varying length attached.
Growing on the root of a rainforest tree, approx 4cm off the ground.

TBH not sure as seems too orange for this sp.

Red stem. Gerronema has been suggested. Didn't catch point of attachment.
Pileus 8-10.5 cm broad, plano-convex or rarely depressed on disc, dry, violet brown (11F5-4) to light grayish pink (no good match). Flesh white, slowly pinkish fuscous, with pungent odor, and mild taste. Tubes adnexed, pale yellowish to pinkish flesh color, pale bluish green at first then red becoming black when bruised; pores likewise. Stipe 4-5 cm long, 2-2.5 cm broad, short clavate-ventricose and pinched at base, dry, short reticulate in one, even in other, matted and finely subtomentose to subpruinose and then pale grayish pink, white otherwise. One appearing to have a zone-like ring/ridge at broadest part of stipe, but under lens this apparently not significant, with white basal mycelium; interior white, solid, changing to pale blue greem. N.B. This looks like a hefty P. sordidus entity. Cyanogranules (+) scattered in pileipellis; hyphae pale brown, narrow, cylindrical, not constricted, not palisadal. Stipitipellis with scattered cyanogranules, narrowly clavate caulocystidia, sometimes blue green or pale brown to hyaline.
