Growing along a council verge. Last rain was about 4 days ago, but there had been heavy rain the week prior. This specimen has only emerged in the last few days.
KOH test: no change on top of cap. Areas that stained blue turned a dark yellow within ~5 sec. Outter surface of stipe slightly reactive, but not very noticeable after 10 min.
Microscopy images:
First two are in water at 100X, taken from the pore surface.
Last two photos are 400x magnification in water, taken from the upper part of the stipe near where it connected to the cap. Did not notice any spores in the sections I took of the pores, but was able to find basidia and spores decorating the outer surface of the stipe. Will need to confirm with more imaging.
Tarra Bulga National Park.
Rapid blue bruising when cap and stem are scratched or cut.
Two fruiting bodies connected at the base of the stem. Cap compact, robust, pale brown with reddish hue at the top; underneath yellow; diam. 11cm and 13cm. Stem reticulated.

Pileus 6.5 cm broad, plano-convex, pale yellow to brownish yellow, finely squamulose. Flesh white, slowly cyanescent (pale). Tubes adnexed, pale yellowish tan, not staining, with pores concolorous, cyanescent. Stipe 5.5 x 2 cm, subclavate, slightly curved, pale yellowish white, finely subsquamulose below, appressed tomentose above, velar zone not apparent, cyanescent then slowly brown, with interior white, becoming chambered, slowly pale cyanescent.

Galls produced in fruit of host plant, converting the whole fruit into a firm woody gall, 2-3 cm diam. with a dark brown firm interior and an outer, pale fawn, felted powdery layer composed of fungal threads and spores and clusters of host cells. In section, the hyphae are seen to push up in bundles between the plant cells and these tufts form an almost continuous layer over the outside of the gall, and give rise to the spores (Fig. 12).
Hyphae between host cells thin, hyaline, 2 µm diam. giving rise to wider (2-5 µm) branched hyphae in the outer layer. Some of these hyphae give rise to spores whilst others grow on into long (250-300 µm or more) sterile threads, 2-4 µm wide, non-septate or occasionally very sparsely septate, often with a thick wall and very narrow lumen (less than I µm), sometimes with thinner walls, occasionally branched, some with Y-shaped branching at their distal end (Fig. 13). Sporogenous hyphae shorter, 40-50 µm long, appearing to give rise to a terminal spore and then perhaps proliferating sympodially to produce a second spore.
Spores (Figs 14 and 15) hyaline, oval to narrowly pyriform to clavate or obclavate, (13-)15-28(-30) X (6 5-)9-13(-14) µm in the type, (13-)15-33(-35) X (7-)9-12(-13) µm in DAR 40071, a few abnormally large spores to 42 X 18 µm seen (less than I% of the total) and occasionally abnormal X- and Y-shaped spores present. The spores have a finely roughened wall 4-5 µm thick and a thin central lumen 2-3 µm wide (but see below), usually with one central septum, but spores with 2-3(-4) septa also seen, straight or slightly curved, sometimes slightly constricted centrally, with a distinct basal scar I ·5-2 µm diam. which has a central pore and a surrounding thickened refringent ring, often with a short pedicel to 3-4 µm long.
Melampsora nesodaphnes was described by Berkeley and Broome (1882) from a
collection on Beilschmiedia obtusifolia (F. Muell. ex Meissn.) F. Muell. sent to them from Brisbane by F. M. Bailey. Subsequently, R. T. Baker found the same fungus on Cinnamomum oliveri F. M. Bail. in New South Wales.
growing from sandy soil near Psychotria nervosa and mixed broadleaf
At first glance looked like A. pyramidifera, but not as spiky, and has a prominent membranous ring. Pale pink gills.
Seen yesterday growing on a cut log. Approx 3cm high.
Seen today. Growing in leaf litter. Cap slimy. Scent pleasant, slightly lemony. (I accidentally touched my face with the mushroom - slight irritation now felt on my face. - I’ve washed my face and hands of course!). Annulus visible and above the ground. Stipe and annulus solid (not hollow). Making spore print.
Two of the larger specimens are waterlogged and rotting
Blue staining on pores, red staining on stipe
Pores stain blue when touched.
Host is a paperwork (waiting on identification confirmation. One of four afflicted wasps found attached to the same shrub along with the abandoned/inactive nest.
Still only one tree found with this fungi, looking very small so far this year.
don't know what these little brown gilled thingies might be
Possibly E. panniculis.
