Trametes versicolor
Definitely the prettiest specimens I have ever found, this is Trametes versicolor, a common polypore mushroom found throughout the world. Meaning 'of several colours', versicolor reliably describes this mushroom found in different colors. By example, due to its resembling multiple colors in the tail of wild turkey, T. versicolor is commonly called turkey tail.
Found on a rotting log in the Goomburra Section of Main Range National Park, near the Manna Gum campsite. Open eucalypt forest, but on the verge of subtropical rainforest. Moist due to recent rain, and filtered light.
