These fungi are Lactarius deliciosus (Saffron milkcap) which is a mushroom that came to Australia from elsewhere when we brought pine trees in and is considered good eating. Growing under pine trees near the Digby phone towers. I’ve seen them there before. Most of them were not in very good nick, especially as the roadside slashing people had just been through. I don’t eat wild mushrooms, but these ones are OK to eat if you are so inclined. It’s interesting that it bruises green, and “bleeds” bright orange latex.
