Honey Fungus

This is "Australian Honey Fungus", which apparently is widespread in southern Australia and is parasitic, killing eucalyptus trees. The scientific title is Armillaria luteobubalina, and it may even be edible, though I certainly wouldn't be inclined to try it!

Beautiful details on the caps, the stems and the gills. Let's hope that this fungus does not totally decimate the eucalyptus trees.
