Plant ID

Newcastle, Australia

I took a shot of what was (to me) an unusual fungus at Uralla. Can anyone help me with identification?
Thank you in advance to anyone who may be able to help, it will be much appreciated.
Cheers, Ian

Ian, that is a great picture!

That is the Starfish Fungus - Aseroe rubra: http://www.environment.gov.au/biodiversity/abrs/publications/fungi/aseroe-rubra.html

I have been hoping to see one of those, but no luck so far. I believe they are often alpine, but have become quite common around Melbourne, but not out here in Gippsland,

That is so wow. What a find.

Coffs Harbour, Australia

They pop up everywhere up here, usually in forrest mulch. They smell a bit!
Very nice picture Ian!
