Xerula radicata
When I found this one I thought the top must feel wet and/or slimy. Had a laugh when it turned out to be more like polythene wrap film. 180mm tall; 80mm across the cap; no volva, frill or cortina on stipe; solitary
Under medium height eucalyptus in leaf mulch. Suburban sports field.
Sometimes known as 'Rooting shank' http://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:c...

After seeing all the others lately I'm sure you're right martin. I've just been a bit slow getting around to this one. And yes it's a tired one.
This fellow seems to be a senior citizen. I wonder if it looks like a rooting shank in its prime?
