Could it be an Omphalotus nidiformis?!!

Why I suggest this is because it appears to have a dusting of white spores on the stipe whereas Austropaxillus has forked gills and brown /rusty spores

Have notice this season a number of the Omphalotus nidiformis are showing these darker tones in their caps. Lovely clear images
