Laccaria sp.
A medium sized unusual shaped fungus about 50mm wide and 65mm tall. Cap has high, flattened dome with very wavy margin, all orange-brown. Stipe tapered top to bottom, fibrous and a good bunch of white mycelium near the base. Gills are open and complex reflecting the shape of the cap.
Under acacia in woodchip mulch in wet eucalyptus rain forest. National park.
A warped Laccaria... still hoping for species. This might be yet another victim of the incredible mini drought we went through - making it resemble a giant Marasmius in the cap. Must get spores next time.
