A small fungi about 13mm wide and 18mm tall with close, white simple gills; a thick fibrous looking yellow stipe; a slightly 'flocked' highly domed pileus with a tight over-hanging margin.
On a separate small wet stick jammed into mud in a local national park. The local area contained a few small eucalyptus trees, patches of a local leptospermum and a lot of mutton-wood trees. Almost swampy.
I have seen very similar fungi to these a few times before. Always on a small stick about 18mm thick. Never had any luck at all with an ID. It also seems very similar but slightly bigger to one spotted last year in tall eucalyptus rainforest except the cap there was quite smooth... http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/946... Possible hygrocybe sp. ?
