Viscid, mildly conical, yellow cap, gills off-white and free, spore possibly brown (see pic 3). About 16mm across
About 30mm tall.
Seemingly growing from almost pure sand on a beach just inside a river mouth. The area would have been occasionally brine with tides.
Yet to determine genus even...

Thanks for the input Machi. This has been a real mystery with none of the local hotshots game to even go to genus. I guess the tan spore might suggest corts but so much else seems another direction... especially habitat. ;-)
Cortinarius? Maybe Cortinarius austrovenetus
Never seen one before. Great spotting. Interesting colour for a mushroom.
Thanks Hema.. It's certainly a new one for me.
great find .....
