One delicate domed fungi on burnt area - different colour to other domed fungi I'd been seeing.

This genus is one of the ones associated with dung. If you look at your image you will notice some old droppings around the fungus, maybe kangaroo?! It is sometimes referred to as a 'mottled gill' because as the spores mature they form a dark 'mottled' pattern on the gills.
