  1. Russell Best  Do you remember where this was growing; eg. on an old tree stump, or in open ground, or at a base of a tree?

  2. • Chris Clarke  Hi Russell - yes old tree stump.

  3. Mark Ridgway  A good chance of Gymnopilus junonius (needs gills view) .

  4. • Russell Best  Yes, I agree Mark. The other option seems to be Hypholoma spp., and differentiation could be achieved with the answer to my earlier question, the answer to which I thought was possibly achievable.

  1. Mark Ridgway  Hi Chris.. very likely Pleurotus australis. Quite variable appearance as they develop - here's a good set of pics to compare https://morrie2.wordpress.com/2010/03/09/pleurotis-australis-the-native-oyster-mushroom/

  3. Tom May  Hi Chris, I reckon this matches Omphalotus nidiformis well. When it is young, the stipe can be strongly coloured, and the pileus can have stron brown, purple andor blue tints. The clincher is that it would glow in the dark.

  4. • Mark Ridgway  Thanks again Tom. I haven't seen these young. It works well.
