Nice pics mate! :)

 

I'm no expert, so hopefully others will chime in, but I don't think your 4th & 5th pics look like T. versicolor, I'd have said that was a Ganoderma of some description? The Trametes do have rings of colour like that, but are smaller? (I'm just guessing scale here, if you have a lighter or some common object of a standard size you can put it in your photos for scale), much thinner (like ~1mm say), and tend to grow in clusters, also not-always but usually more colourful than that specimen.

I'm no fungi wizard as well.

 

I'd reckon young Ganoderma australe as well for 4 and 5, the fruit body is always present with this bracket fungus and will continue to grow larger. Typically solitary. Quite a woody/solid feeling fruit body.

 

T.versicolor below, these fruit and fade away over time. Typically in a group, sometimes quite a large one. They will feel flexible to the touch.

This definitely looked like it had been there a while so I think you're probably more right than me with Ganoderma. That specimen was about as wide as my hand (~20cm x 2cm thick) and on the 1m log there was 3 growing well spaced out. There seems to be a lot of variance in the australe photos on g.images. Though that's probably the worst way to go about identifying anything.

 

If I can positively identify as Ganoderma Australe is it possible these have medicinal benefits like reishi?

Because they "overgrow" they will take on a different appearance, and there are a few species. Could be G.applanatum as another stab at it on reflection. It a Ganoderma no doubt in my mind.

 

Its possible....dont think there is any work on it though as such.

This might help, but its discussing 3 QLD species..http://researchbank.swinburne.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/swin:7493

As far as i'm aware G.junonius has only been recorded from southern western oz. But then records are patchy at best.

Interesting , apparently according to the newest Tas fungi field guide (Gates + Ratkowsky) Gym.junonius is present down here.

 

I havent come across it yet though in my travels.

According to world wide reports, gym junonius has a different alk. profile in usa and different in europe, so they propably are a different species too. And yeah its seems yr continent has many of these genus. Very beautiful fungi

They pop up here south of Sydney too, usually on some sort of host that appears to be native. I always thought what sagi is saying above to be true, plus some shroomery folk told me they aren't active in Australia. It's all second hand info tho

it might be second hand, but there are lots of reports like these for euro G. junonius too contrary to US reports
