Clitocybe phyllophila
Creamy white fungi with broadly convex caps that thinned-out towards beautifully crenulated margins. The caps (upto 30mm wide) looked smooth and slightly moist but not sticky or slimy - the texture and appearance was like bread dough. Gills were close, the same colour as the cap and decurrent. Stipe was long, smooth and slender.
Spotted growing in a colony under very damp leaf litter near a creek. Distribution: http://bie.ala.org.au/species/urn:lsid:c...
A beautiful fungus with very attractive caps. My thanks to gully.moy for help with the ID.
