User's notes
Large brown/golden fungi with white/cream underside on a dead gum tree, about 3 meters high. Looks like it has no lamellae, more a bolete type? Possibly has 2 stipes with one body sitting under the other? Photos taken by a Canon Ixus and 1 by phone to give GPS location.

I'n unsure of the pored fungus. The flat brownish one that grows over the bark is Xylodon australis.

Thanks Heinol,
I didn't notice that, was focused on the vary obvious large one. Will go back and look more closely.
Many thanks
Jane
