Under Quercus robur at the canopy edge, in a drainage channel in lawn shaded by a dense lillypilly.

The mushrooms are on the 1 benning ave lot in an established garden.

The oak is at 253 kissing point road (next door) on a lot that used to be a dense garden with many established trees that was chipped away at over the past 10 years until its eventual bulldozing a couple years ago. Highly disturbed outside the root zone of the oak tree. The area under the tree on this lot is flat scraggly lawn.
I have not seen any mushrooms anywhere other than the one point at 1 benning.

• potentially the point of introduction? - one member of the household has been on multiple trips to Victoria in the past few years.
• also potentially introduced with the recent disturbance at 253, or by the previous owners from hypothetical trips of theirs.

A few small ones were recently washed ashore. Maybe one every 10 metres. Sail direction is right.
Imaged in my aquarium. The hydroid structures are so amazing. The hydroids were covered in brown particles, I think these are the juvenile medusa waiting to bud.
