They are indeed. Well let me know if you figure out the ID. I might just peruse your spottings to find the ID's of the other fungi I found today. Sure to have more similar spottings!
These are stunning mushrooms - just the way they come out of the trunk. I think they might be Gymnopilus sp but need to research further.
I just checked for CV's Pholiota in Aus... apparently 1 or 2 unreliable spottings unfortunately. Not surprising since all the weather (and spores?) goes from us to them.
Awesome Leuba, that is so cool!
Ha ha Argy - did you gave Leuba a piggyback so she could get that shot!?
Thanks for the help CorduneanuVlad, I'll have a look into that lead.
Hey Rachael... arms not long enough for a top shot? :) Nice spotting!
They look like Pholiota aurivella - it's native to New Zealand so it's possible to grow in Australia also...
Hi Rachael, have a look at my spotting from 15 June -
