Those decurrent gills make me think that it is none of the above, neither mycena nor hygrocybe, but more of an omphaloid fruit body. Why limit ourselves to just those two genera, when it could be anything, or perhaps even another unnamed species (or at least an unfamiliar named genus)? Australia appears to be rife with them. I’d advise a more general description until we can find more info on this lovely mushroom.
And in my researches I also discovered that some small Hygrocybes can grow on well-rotted wood, altho I don’t believe that these mushrooms are in that genus, despite their bright red coloration and delightfully viscid stipes.
Yeah, these are pretty remarkable guys here, I would second the idea of Mycena. They would be interesting under the scope.
Beautiful little creatures! But can it really be a Hygrocybe when it’s growing on wood?
Thanks Darv,
It has been some time but I new someone would do the honours. Many thanks KK. Season here in very early stages, but have a couple of species to load. One is possibily Pholiota malicola.
