Today is the first fungi spotting of this autumn. ALA has this as not recorded in Australia but many records appear on the map !? http://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:c... best similarity at http://americanmushrooms.com/taxa/Psathy...

They do vary in colour and general appearance a lot but I'm not 100% either. Supposedly they fight cancer pretty well though :-)
Thanks gully.moy - I'm not 100% on candolleana but it's good for now.
Perhaps Psathyrella candolleana? Looks like a Psathyrella...
Exactly Lipase :) One more good rain...
...It begins! :-l
