Growing from the end of a fallen Acacia Melanoxylon. Lichen starting to cover?

Yes, agreed there was a another fungus nearby but white in colour with no lichen, is it likely to be the same species?

This specimen has more pinkish tones than you normally see. This is most probably because it had become waterlogged in its recent history.
