Fungus growing on stump. Tops sulphur yellow. Tightly packed mustard-coloured spore structures beneath.
I had assumed incorrectly that entonaema liquiscens would be liquid at all stages of life, however I now realise that's silly.
Marking on the fungi are purely the result of rubbing with a wet paper towel to try and clean it up for a photo. Would love someone to drop a knowledge bomb and share what's going on/what's shown in the photos here

Appears to be based in the ruins of a previous basidiocarp emerging from the top of a large cut stump- likely a tropical rainforest tree. Red guttation but quickly bruised grey then black. Pyrrhoderma?
Phaeolus? Coltricia? 14cm wide and 9cm high above ground. Cap brown, appearing more red-brown under artificial light. Thin yellow margin, more visible on pore side. Velvet lighter coloured stipe; ovoid in cross section. Pore surface, tubes and context brown; white patches on pore surface may be a mould. Pores irregular. Growing on and through small sticks and grasses beneath 2 dead trees. May have extended deeper to tree roots but structure fragmented by other materials and white ant activity. (I think this is the 5th one of these I have seen this season)
Ganoderma? pyrrhoderma? Bruises grey. On a cut stump (a few metres away from previous report)
I had originally thought this was Xanthopus Microporus although it’s colouring is different from the others on the wood. However, the lower portion of the stem is laccate.
Large pored polypore. Outside 2 photos taken of examples at one end of a stick. The individual in other photos is at the other end of the stick.
This was a relatively long lived fungi living in this condition for over 3 months. Back in 2018. It was-still visible where it has been by having a thin leathery form with quite fibrous appearance 2 years later finally decomposing to a gue like grey mass.
Note one photo also shows a Fistulinella mollis in the photo.
Specimen confirmed and retained by Queensland Herbarium
Tiny flowers 2 mm wide growing on surface rock where grasses and sedge cannot compete. Several populations covering about 10 square meters edge on the transition between slashed grass and left wild areas along Nemarluk Drive
Herberton powerline track.
AVH calls this Sedopsis armitii.
POWO and iNat place this name as a synonym of Portulaca bicolor.

26/3/2024 added photo of trees above it and it’s currently darker and more rugged cap. Pore surface remains white but tubes and context brown.
18/3/2024 Stemmed polypore with caramel coloured convoluted velvet cap which bruises brown. Pore surface white, bruises brown. Context the same brown. Stem more yellow and apparently free of pores.
