At first, I didn't know what this fungus was. It was growing on the root of a pine tree and I thought it might be an Armillaria species. Fortunately, my friends on the SEQ Facebook page put me on the right track. Some people suggested it could be a Lepiota, while others suggested Leucocoprinus. Fechman67 suggested Leucocoprinus cepistipes. I had a look in a couple of my books and I'm going with Leucocoprinus, as I think the top of the cap looks more "mealy" than "fibrous". This is definitely a fungus that needs microscopic examination for a proper id! IDENTIFYING AUSTRALIAN RAINFOREST PLANTS,TREES & FUNGI - Flick Group --> DATABASE INDEX - TAGS
