Mycena sp
Clumps of mushrooms with grey convex caps about 20mm wide. The caps were slightly viscid with a rubbery texture. Centres had a small depression with a deep grey colour which faded towards a striate margin. Margins were significantly paler. Stipes were two-toned soft and hollow collapsing towards the base which was covered with mycelium ( pic #5). Gills were slightly spaced and a pale cream colour.
Spotted on a decaying log- probably Eucalyptus in a damp Eucalyptus forest gully. There were several several clumps.
Some of the photos were taken with a flash. The grey colouring is more representative of the real thing ! Thanks to gully.moy for assistance with the genus.

Thanks gully.moy
They look like Mycena to me.
Thanks Luis. I wish I could ID them - they felt like Silicone.
Nice series Leuba!
