 ID Request - South Australia   1
#12490358 - 05/01/10 08:35 PM (3 years, 21 days ago) |

Habitat:
I found the very base in soil, which was covered by various plant matter (leaves, both dead and green), near an old tree which looked to be dying, not sure what type sorry. It was near cow pastures, along side a road which was adjacent to a horse trail, and frequently had horses traversing. This was approximately 20 km south of Adelaide, in South Australia. The mushrooms were found approximately 1 meter apart from eachother.
It has been raining on and off every few days for the past week, around this area. Also has been approximately 18 degrees during the night, and 25 during the day.
Gills:
[gradient:#E9F74F,#]Yellow[/gradient], attached. Not sure how to accurately describe it beyond this, sorry.
Stem:
Approximately 5cm/2inch length, ~2cm/.8inch diameter, yellowish color however tainted brown, whether this is normal or because of the soil/plant matter, Im not sure. Solid all the way through EXCEPT at the very bottom, where it is hollowed.
Cap:
Diameter of ~13cm or ~5 inches. Darkening yellow, rather flat top, however it looks like it was originally concave (top with the edges reaching down) and flattened with age.
Spore print color:
Developing!! As soon as a definitive color appears I'll update this!
Bruising:
After applying pressure, quickly (within a minute) bruised blue. Had a silverish sort of reflection to it though.
Other information:
There are various blue stains on the mushroom. It doesnt have a definitive/potent smell, however my sense of smell is rather poor.
Pictures will be uploaded shortly, damn computer just wont see the camera. Spore print is also underway, will take pictures.
My apologies for jumping straight to an ID request, I usually just lurk since I am very new to this, and I was just completely ecstatic to find something that didnt look like poison. 
Any help at all would be hugely appreciated. If noone posts until a spore print / pictures are uploaded thats completely understandable though.
Edit: Sorry, to clarify. There are two mushrooms, identical looking in all features. Second edit, sorry. Added a few habitat details.

Looking forward to the pics.
Also makes things somewhat easier for identifiers.

Ok, here are pictures. Bruise 2 was done approximately one minute before this photo was taken. Bruise 1 was done approximately one hour before hand.
Apologies for the awful lighting. Also, spore prints are still developing.

I think that's a Phylloporus species.

Yeah it definitely looks it from what (little) I've seen, however I did read that it didn't occur in Australia, so I disregarded that thought.

I agree.
Could be P. clelandii seeing as it was found in Australia. I've come across these nearly everyday out in the field over the last week.

Well even after putting a few drops of water on the top of the cap the spore print didnt develop. Will just be discarding the mushroom to be safe
