Polyporus badius
A robust looking mushroom; 35mm tall; pileus slightly mottled grey to brown-grey; stipe very thick, white. Mostly smooth but some very small 'hairs' on stipe. No obvious frills.
Growing on fallen eucalyptus log in very dense eucalyptus forest. Many mosses for company.
The shots showing the underside failed but it is highly likely that this is an earlier version of this... http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/946...

somewhat decurrent - paxilus sp?
I can't be certain as the focus was totally gone on my 'under' shots All I can see is a profile which suggests the stipe flares to the gills (if that makes sense)
don't know where to begin. I can just say: nice, :) [where the gills running a little bit downwards the stalk ?]
beautiful atmosphere - i like the second shot over the first, btw (even if the light is better on the first; sharpness scores on the second)
