3 large fungi, evidence of others that had been uprooted (by possums?). Cap dark brown, stem lighter, some red colouring on cap on two of fungi. Scale given by woman’s hand in photo.

Does the underside of the cap have gills does it have numerous holes (much like a sponge)? Given the shadowing, I'm not sure.

Just been back to view, holes, not gills.
