Almost certainly Phaeotrametes decipiens – though a view of the underside would help (e.g. see http://www.anbg.gov.au/fungi/images-captions/phaeotrametes-decipiens-0055.html). Do you have such a photo? In the absence of an underside view I’m thinking Phaeotrametes decipiens because of the ‘damaged’ areas on two of the caps – in particular the small circles on the rightmost cap. I suspect that these are the rudimentary stages of the so-called ‘splash cups’ that are sometimes found on the caps of this species. Asexual spores are produced in those cups and it has been suggested that they could be splashed out by raindrops. Such a splash cup mechanism is found in a small number of fungal and plant genera.
