Two shots of Aseroe rubra as red and as prolific as I have ever seen them, then a shot of Lysurus mokusin all taken today in the mulch at the Regional Botanic Gardens Gold Coast...it has been raining here for almost week.

I've a feeling the small red fungi in Rob's post No1225 is Leratiomyces ceres (formerly known as Stropharia aurantiaca)

 

One needs to see the underside to be certain, but in the last photo you can clearly see the stalk is reddish at the base.

[Forest Imp]

I should add Leratiomyces ceres is an alien and was first noticed in the UK in the early 1990's and seems to prefer wood chips, but there looks to be sufficient wood debris in the photo to make Leratiomyces a possibility.
