Habitat:
Found growing in local bushland around a lake, mostly on dead of burnt fallen trees. Trees that were found to have mushrooms attached were usually on the ground for a while. Mainly on banksia or gum tree wood.
Gills:
Two different colors, some light yellowish, some more orange. attached to both stem and underside of cap all the way to the edge. spores appear to be a bright yellowy orange, as they were seen in profusion around some of the growth sites.
Stem:
Length from 25-100mm, diameter on larger specimens 8-10mm, color pretty red/orange on mushrooms growing in sunlight, whiter on those growing from cover, texture firm on those that grew in sunlight, softer on those growing from cover, stems appear hollow, though resilient to damage, not as crisp to snap as a field mushroom, walls on the stems appear to be about 3mm thick.
Cap:
Diameter 20-100mm, distinct colors can be seen in photos, texture slightly leathery on top of those that were subject to direct light, those growing from cover have no leathery top, and appear softer to the touch, more delicate, conical, convex.
Spore print color:
Spore dusting visible on photograph of large clump. conducting spore printing now, as they are sitting on my washing machine on paper. spores are bright yellow orange in color, and mark hands and surrounding wood.
Bruising:
i noted small spots on the caps of some of these mushrooms that were blue/green, unsure whether this is bruising or bug holes that have healed. Stems did not appear to bruise, unless you count a variant of the original color of the stems (slightly darker) where the skin was damaged.
Other information:
Mushrooms have a smell of normal field mushrooms, seem to be two slightly different varieties, or variations of the same variety.Please see attached pictures. :-)

You definately have two different species there, I am fairly certain they are both Gymnopilus.
One looks close to Gymnopilus allantopus
The other I am not sure on.
Interesting finds.

Thankyou, found this useful information showing the difference, believe one is G. Allantopus

I wouldn't trust the information in that link. I have no idea what his concept of G. allantopus is base on, but it doesn't agree with any description that I've read. It shouldn't be easily mistaken for G. purpuratus

I didn't read the link when it was posted as I generally don't consider shaman-australis a good source for information. The photos labelled as G. allantopus there do not seem to match whatsoever.
If you were curious this was one of the places I took my information from: http://www.elfram.com/fungi/fungipics_i.html

Bill's photos match my concept of G. allantopus, like this observation of mine.

I really need to sit and look through your obs on MO properly one day. That is exactly how I picture what I've read in descriptions of G. allantopus.

I concur, the allantopus tend to have pale yellow gills, whereas ther Gym. P. tend further towards gold/rust color
