I got no responses last year when I posed this question at around the same time of year. The photo shows what I assume is the same type of fungus but it has appeared in a different location. Do we still not have any fungi experts out there?

John, looks like Omphalotus olearius [syn. Clitocybe olearia]

Thanks for that, Oron, and good to have you back, you've been missed. Useful to know that this particular fungus is poisonous so keep the grandchildren away from it.
