NC The grass looks like a Club-rush, Bolboschoenus species. Could also be a Cyperus sp. But more like above easier to determine with a flower pic.

Thanks Bunya Yes NothingsChanged I do not do well in academia. Too much discipline and being enclosed within four walls is not my thing. I'll step back and do some habitat shots tomorrow.
I just call it blade grass but it isn't. Its thicker in cross section and doesn't cut. It grows everywhere where water sits for any length of time. It's a pain to walk through where its thick without shoes on.
The young bits feel like nails going into my feet. Scored another inch of rain this afternoon so I'll be out hunting again tomorrow.

There are three types of native grass in these images. P.tasmaniana grows at the base of all three. Particularly in Summer when the sun is too hot for them to grow in the open. Come March and the area is shaded. Then they fruited prolifically last year over the whole area from the beginning of Autumn to May.

Same bunch of P.tasmaniana from yesterday. These are becoming very impressive size wise for this species.

Protostropharia semiglobata. Same specimens from yesterday. Their robust morphology plus the way they grow out from the horse dung points to that species.
P.alutacea forms a woolly tuft of mycelium on the surface of the horse dung. I have never seen any P.alutacea growing through the horse dung. They have vanished for now. Looked next door yesterday and not a sign of one. Perhaps they'll be fruiting in Autumn.

P.papuana coming up in a sunny location. Both images same pair. Unless it rains today I think these will abort with the direct sunlight hitting them. Hope we get another storm today.

Now for the other style of P.papuana that doesn't resemble the others colour wise. These ones I've been finding this season and last season. They were only growing as single specimens last year.

This different strain of P.papuana is now growing in groups.

Thanks NothingsChanged and Blazer420. There sure is a lot of variation with the cap shape and colour of P.papuana.

P.tasmaniana showing the characteristic bell shaped cap of that species. As indicated by Inski via Gaston Guzman's description.
