Gymnopilus junonius
Suburban nature strip in Autumn
Spotted one morning on the way to work. Didn't notice if it later developed into a typical 'toadstool' cluster of mushrooms. Pic 2 & 3 are taken at the same time of year the following year. Obviously the same species but earlier in their growth cycle sine they were smaller. Near a Lophostemon tree. (Edit) added pic of mature cap taken 5/6/2013

That looks a good possibilty. The pics are back. Thanks
I asked a fungi specialist and he reckons Gymnopilus junonius.
This could be Gymnopilus luteofolius.
Just added mature cap to spotting and another spotting of same species.
Hi FFC... no pics 2 & 3 ?
