Cheilymenia raripila
Small right yellow diiscs about 2 mm wide. Some had a sparse ring of hairs along the margins.
These were seen growing on Kangaroo dung. Occurrence map: http://bie.ala.org.au/species/a4096b04-7...
These fungi belong to C. coprinaria group. I have spotted at least two different sizes. Capturing the details was a little difficult. Order: Pezizales Family: Pyronemataceae

Thanks Martin. I thought you'd spotted some too Martin. Mark pointed the first lot to me - much smaller and difficult to photograph. I wouldn't have known that they were so small. For a fungus, I am amazed at the chosen mode of dispersal.
Eyelashes and cups and dung do not belong in the same sentence.
Having said that, its a great spotting.
You guys seem to have found several types.
