I had assumed incorrectly that entonaema liquiscens would be liquid at all stages of life, however I now realise that's silly.
Marking on the fungi are purely the result of rubbing with a wet paper towel to try and clean it up for a photo. Would love someone to drop a knowledge bomb and share what's going on/what's shown in the photos here

Appears to be based in the ruins of a previous basidiocarp emerging from the top of a large cut stump- likely a tropical rainforest tree. Red guttation but quickly bruised grey then black. Pyrrhoderma?

wandaausDescription
Phaeolus? Coltricia? 14cm wide and 9cm high above ground. Cap brown, appearing more red-brown under artificial light. Thin yellow margin, more visible on pore side. Velvet lighter coloured stipe; ovoid in cross section. Pore surface, tubes and context brown; white patches on pore surface may be a mould. Pores irregular. Growing on and through small sticks and grasses beneath 2 dead trees. May have extended deeper to tree roots but structure fragmented by other materials and white ant activity. (I think this is the 5th one of these I have seen this season)

I had originally thought this was Xanthopus Microporus although it’s colouring is different from the others on the wood. However, the lower portion of the stem is laccate.

eileen64Description
This was a relatively long lived fungi living in this condition for over 3 months. Back in 2018. It was-still visible where it has been by having a thin leathery form with quite fibrous appearance 2 years later finally decomposing to a gue like grey mass.
Note one photo also shows a Fistulinella mollis in the photo.
