There are two species of Amauroderma known to be in Queensland - A. rude and A. rugosum. According to Cunningham, A. rude has the much larger pores of the two. This particular fungus had very coarse-looking pores, so it's a good bet that it's Amauroderma rude.In this photo, which is looking down at the top of the typically very dark-coloured cap, you can see how the fungus has grown around a stick and a bracken stem.

Photographed in Mt Field National Park, along the Tall Trees track.Antrodiella zonataI saw this little bracket growing on a log and thought it was another Stereum or a Trametes. I was quite surprised when I looked underneath. IDENTIFYING AUSTRALIAN RAINFOREST PLANTS,TREES & FUNGI - Flick Group --> DATABASE INDEX - TAGS
