This 'stinkhorn' was the first fungus to be described from Australia. It was recorded on 1 May 1792 from Recherche Bay in Tasmania, just south of Hobart by Labillardiere. The olive-brown slime is the spore mass that is eaten by flys and other insectes which disperse the spores. There appears to be a fair amount of variation within this species. Rangeing from rather delicate forms to the more robust ones like the example you have uploaded. They are saprotrophic (decomposers) and often found in wood mulch.

I would be pretty confident in this ID; the fruit should be red.

An important character in Leptospermums is whether they keep their seed cases or not for a number of years, and the shape and hairiness of the seed cases. A diagnostic that distinguishes laevigatum from all other Leptospermums is that the seed cases have 6-11 radial slits in the tops, while the rest always have 5. So if you can find them, it is a good idea to take a photo from top and side of a seed case, and add a comment like ‘Seed cases not found’ if you can’t.

Good, now I see what you mean by the mustard yellowish growth - not the black I'd been looking at. Yes, I'd agree with you that it appears to be some species of lichen. I'll try and track it down for you. Nothing like a challenge!!! It may take me a while, so please be patient. Can you give me any idea of it's size please - not the whole thing but those small sections that make up the whole?
