Anthracophyllum archeri
Anthracophyllum archeri is a bright reddish orange agaric with a short lateral stem or none at all. The gills are very widely spaced. Found growing on dead wood, such as twigs, bracken, creepers and bark in great numbers in moist forest, but also seen in damp places in dry areas. Its common in the Barrington Tops National Park, NSW , Australia. The cap is 5-33mm broad, deep reddish orange, semicircular. The gills are deep reddish orange, broadly spaced, with both short and long gills present. The spore print is white.

thanks Argy, and good luck with the spotting. If you cross the road and go up the nature trail in UFTG Park, you just might spot one!
The name's a bit of a mouthful!
Brilliant job on getting an ID Pam. Hope I can find these someday.
thanks to Amanita virosa at mushroom observer for the ID...
thanks Argy, I made #2 the front photo...
These are impressive even though maybe old and dry. I haven't seen anything like it. I think pic2 is the dramatic one with those huge gills.
