@Csteele4 does this appear similar to that which you found recently in the Canberra region?

@Teresa yup, definitely similar. Mine were more vibrant, but that can be explained by something as simple as a better camera. Pileus, lamellae, gill attachment and stipe all match up! I'm feeling pretty confident we both have Humidicutis arcohastata after more chats with my mushroom group, but would love to hear what @Heino1 thinks.

@Csteele4 many thanks - sure, this is only from a phone camera; the really great pic on the 'real camera' is fantastic with a truly vibrant colour. I've only ever found this one once before about 5 yrs ago along our coastal fringe and in a completely different habitat so have felt totally confused over this one. Sure hope Heino can enlighten us.

@Teresa if I have the species correct it is rare and threatened, so not surprising that neither you nor I had ever seen it before!!
