This is a mycorrhizal fungus that grows in association with nearby plants, usually trees. Both partners benefit from this association. It's helpful, if possible, if nearby trees can be identified to try and gain a greater understanding of these associations. They are related to the boletes though have gills instead of pores.

Nearby trees are Eucalyptus blakelyi (Blakely's red gum) and E. bridgesiana (apple box).
