Nice sighting. I think it might be the first? I see a lot of fungi and have never managed to come across this one.

There are some sightings of Geoglossum but this one is given as Geoglossum sp. (genus). The names should be merged but I am not sure which is preferred. I think they show as Geoglossum on Atlas of Living Australia.

Is there any relationship to Ophioglossum lusitanicum (Adder's Tongue) a small fern fronds solitary or in pairs tongue -shaped? they sort of look a bit similar. I've seen it when walking in reserves

This is the fruiting body of a fungus. It might look a bit like the spike of Ophioglossum but you would also see leaves on that, as shown in https://canberra.naturemapr.org/sightings/4312210.
