Crepidotus sp. (Crepidotus)
In most cases, the fruit body could be described as a stemless mushroom. It has a fleshy texture and consists of a cap with gills on the underside. The cap, viewed from above, is roughly semi-circular and, in general, is attached to wood by its flat edge. (but in some species a very short stem may be present). Caps vary in diameter from half a centimetre to 10 centimetres. The caps come in various colours and so do the gills.
Spore print: brown.
Look-alikes
There are few genera of stemless (or very shortly-stemmed) mushrooms and often it is possible get a good idea in the field that such a mushroom is a species of Crepidotus. However, to be sure, it is often necessary to study a specimen.

Canberra & Southern Tablelands | South Coast | New South Wales North Coast
