Lactifluus clarkeae
A beautiful vibrantly yellow mushroom with a velvety look. The centre of the cap which was about 60 mm, was slightly depressed. The slightly spaced gills were a bright white sharply contrasting with a pale orange stipe.
Spotted in a schlerophyll forest with eucalyptus and native heath.
This genus was known as "Lactarius" but is now Lactifluus. Usually dripping with white liquid from the gills but I did not see any in this cap.
