Your first photo may show (but I'm not certain) a few examples of the asexual state of this fungus. I'm referring to the short, pale, greyish brown stalks that are near the dark wood/light wood boundary, about a fifth of the way up from the bottom. You see a couple of clusters, the stalks in each cluster originating from a common point. You see more examples of the asexual state here: https://canberra.naturemapr.org/sightings/3343988.
