Gymnopilus ferruginosus
A solitary young cap. About 25mm across. Scaly cap, but this one is very small compared to say 'Spectacular Rustgills' Growing directly from an exposed eucalyptus root.
Tall eucalyptus rainforest in a national park.

Hymenium is not adnexed enough for my liking... but this ID will do for a while.
Thanks again g.m I'll get back to this one later today.
Consider Gymnopilus dilepis, G. purpuratus, G. aeruginosus, G. luteofolius.
I think it is likely a 'magic' species. If the mushroom bruises a blue/green shade this would be confirmed.
Actually I think it's too small for that. It already has no signs of a veil and is only 25mm.
Yes it does a bit. I'll check it tomorrow. Thanks.
Looks like a Gymnopilus to me.
