Hello Shroomery folks,

For my fourth mushroom hunt, I searched some urban nature strips with old eucalyptus and lots of bark and moisture. They have some distinct red colouring on the stipe and the heads are very dark red / brown and very dry and woody. There were some more yellow ones as well. Anyway, I'd love to know what they are so I can discount them next time or head back and collect lots of pins which were coming up if they are something active.
















Species #1

Habitat:
City nature strip, banked garden with barkchips and lots of eucalyptus debris and old gum trees. these were found poking through barkchips and fallen eucalyptus bark. Adelaide SA

Gills:
Color - white or light tan on smaller ones, cream colour and some have dark brown colour, attached gills, lots of little aphid-like critters crawling around in the gills.

Stem:
Length 1cm-5cm diameter, color - white with orange-red streaks, texture - firm, dry, solid, thick - 4mm-10mm diameter.

Cap:

Thanks very much! @duggstar

I will continue hunting. I think I may just focus on subs until I've found them and know what they are (and what they are not) as gyms add a bunch more variables which make it a lot more complicated for me as a beginner :smile: I certainly appreciate your help.

Cheers

On second thoughts, #1 could be something like Stropharia formosa, or it could be a mixed collection. But I don't think they are Gymnopilus which would have a more scaly or squamulous cap, they look like Strophariaceae to me.

Nothing active looks close to those two specimens.
