I think this is Postia punctata. It can be quite variable in form and colour.Photographed in Mt Field National Park, along the Russell and Horseshoe Falls track.IDENTIFYING AUSTRALIAN RAINFOREST PLANTS,TREES & FUNGI - Flick Group --> DATABASE INDEX - TAGS

I've had some feedback from Fungimap. Dr Tom May has looked at my photos and corrected some of my identifications.He thinks it's Cymatoderma elegans. I'm not entirely convinced, but I will respectfully bow to his far greater experience and expertise.IDENTIFYING AUSTRALIAN RAINFOREST PLANTS,TREES & FUNGI - Flick Group --> DATABASE INDEX - TAGS
