Suggest Cheilymenia raripila, from A Fiels Guide to Australian Fungi by Bruce Fuhrer, species gregarious on herbivore dung.

This is a species of Cheilymenia but, within the genus, identification to species depends on microscopic features. CNM should have Cheilymena sp., since I put up a brief description and comments a little while ago, but it didn't appear in the list when I tried to ID this sighting. I'll try again later.

Its in there under fungi, but not under a specific group of fungi so I think that's why you cant access it.

Should it be moved to the disc to cup like section? I can email and ask if someone can do this.
