The upside-down photo shows what looks to be a membranous ring, low on the stem, with a dusting of rust-brown spores. The whole mushroom is quite chunky, dirty whitish. All of that suggests Cortinarius australiensis - albeit a somewhat clapped-out example. Either that or its close twin - Pseudocortinarius decrepitiaustraliensis.
