In grassy patch near introduced pinus radiata.
Thanks gully.moy for ID This is actually the same as the Enoki we buy in supermarkets. It is commercially grown in cold and complete darkness to produce the familiar little clumps of white stringy mushrooms. Distribution in Australia - http://bie.ala.org.au/species/Velvet+Foo...
I think this is correct, providing they could have been growing from wood, perhaps just beneath the soil.
