Lichenomphalia umbellifera
Several patches of these; about 25mm tall; same yellow to orange colour all over; very loose, simple gills attached with slight decurrence. Stipe slightly scaly.
In mosses and coarse sand (suspect buried organic material, sticks?) within a (normally) dry sclerophyll eucalyptus forest. Recent rain over a few days.
Similar is Hygrocybe chromolimonea.
ID from Fuhrer(2005) #223
