Entoloma melanophthalmum
A small, slightly domed, striated cap very much darker at the middle and about 22mm across.
The stipe was narrow, smooth, about 40mm, and surprisingly black/indigo.
Gills were close and very clean white.
Beside a walking track in a local flower reserve. Growing with very short grasses and mosses and ground lichens.
Baluk Willum Flora Reserve.
Possibly E.melanophthalmum
Reference - Field Guide to Tasmanian Fungi by G. Gates & D. Ratkowsky. (one of the identifying features is the very dark centre of the cap which remains to maturiy)
