Thanks people. I found that page in Fuhrer too LooktoSee. It's the closest I could find. I guess I better go out and grab the thing and sit it overnight for a spore print. (According to a quick reading, Cortinarius is likely to be rust-brown and Gymnopilus mustard yellow?) It's in my veggie garden (you can see the telephone peas germinating behind it in the photo) There are large (planted) gums nearby. And who knows what has been put into the soil in that spot.....the previous owner of this house seems to have pretty much sterilized the soil all around the fencelines and it's only now 10 years later that I am managing to get that soil something like viable again.

Sorry about the delay in getting back....I'm trying to construct a back quiver for my arrows and finding out what doesn't work. I think I might now have it......

I picked a Gymnopilus today and will do a spore print so we can compare. But I am less inclined to think Gymnopilus now that I look at this specimen.

If is it Cortinarius then it will be mycorrhizal, so associated with the gum trees. Is that a stump that it is growing next to?

I suppose that the gills might be sub-decurrent or sinuate, which would match better with the specimen in Fuhrer.
