The untidy subterranean branching with multiple crowns, leaf cross-section profile and habitat are more consistent with X. concava than with the affiliated species X. resinosa.

The absence of prominent cluster bracts over the flower spike rules out X. australis, the upper aspect of the leaf appears flattened to concave in some, this is also inconsistent with X. australis, therefore this is likely either X. resinosa or the affiliated X. concava.
Xanthorrhoea sp.

That 'hoof' shape and the colour of pores indicates a Phellinus sp. maybe P. robustus. This genus causes white rot and is found on both dead or living wood of both angiosperms and gymnosperms . Ganoderma have white pores and also cause 'white rot' and grow mainly on angiosperms.
Good images, thank you.
Phellinus sp.

Yes, you are correct in that the 'bolete' type fungi tend to come early in the year so this would be out of season. Though fungi do tend to have a will of their own and appear when they are ready not always when we think they should!!!
Austroboletus lacunosus is a fungus that is much softer and with a more rounded cap. It has a much more robust stem (stipe) with its surface ornamented with a network of ridges and pits (reticulated). Was this specimen a bit tough and rubbery? It looks like it is an area that has been burnt?! I suspect it is one of the 'fire responsive fungi' such as those from the genus Laccocephalum. It looks very like L. sclerotinium, which for the moment I'll suggest....good find.
Laccocephalum sclerotinium
