Unsure if this is a fungi. It was a striking fluorescent colour after recent rain. The fourth image was taken at 3X magnification and the fifth image at 5X magnification. The fifth image shows the structure left behind by previous growth.

The 5th image probably hows Xylodon australis. There seem to be a few granules of Chrysothrix as well.
