I wonder if this is Pseudoinonotus australiensis (previously in Inonotus, the change in 2022). I’ve seen it just once when I collected it in the Gloucester area of NSW. If you look at the GBIF results for this species (https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/search?taxon_key=2521228) you’ll see that they record only seven other collections, held at the Oslo fungarium. Of course there are probably more elsewhere that either don’t get into GBIF or are misidentified. When I collected mine I assumed it was a large Coltricia. Here (https://www.gbif.org/occurrence/4422619303) you can see a photo of an isotype collection. In this species the underside is not white when fresh and it doesn’t bleed red if you run your fingernail across it.

Quite a slender trunk compared to those on Brown Mountain and in the ACT (and indeed, one self planted specimen in my garden in Tura Beach). I've seen similar forms at Crystal Creek in NE NSW that keyed out to C. australis, but I wonder if they are the same as the more robust form.

Hi Rose, If you can get a side-on shot or from slightly below to show the underside (gills? pores?) and how the stem is inserted in the bottom of the cap as well as the top of the cap that would help with making an ID. I think I'm getting a hint of pores not gills round the edge of the cap, making this a bolete, but I'll leave it to Pam to see if she can get a bit closer.
