Armillaria hinnulea
Mature specimens of Armillaria hinnulea show olive-green caps with dark granular material on the centres. Gills were a pale cream as was the stipe, which showed delicate striations up to a fragile annulus. Spore print was a pale cream.
Spotted in the same wet gully a few feet away from the immature fungi in a previous spotting http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/250... These were growing near a walking track
A parasitic fungus seen only in Australia and New Zealand.
