Anthracophyllum archeri
A series of umbrella-shaped thin, soft, smooth-capped fungi, attached eccentrically to a drying twig. The caps were of various sizes; the largest being about 7 mm wide. The caps were a tan colour as were the spaced gills which looked more like folds. The underside of the caps appeared darker at the point of attachment. There was no stipe.
Spotted growing on a dead branchlet of a leptospermum tree Distribution: http://bie.ala.org.au/species/Anthracoph...
belongs to the Marasmiaceae family of fungi.

I see a lot of places are not getting their rainfall again. I hope it comes back. The area around you depends on being moist. We are still getting good rains but I am a stone's throw from the coast
I am happy to say that, so far, we have spotted mostly new fungi ( not the ones we saw last year). But, because it's been so dry our luck might not last !
there seem to be a real cornucopia of fungi in that part of the world
