Hi John,
I'm not very sure (I do not have my book over her) but It looks like Gymnopilus junonius in later stadium of their life.
But I'm not very sure about this.
The picture I do like, although I would had try a litlle lower POV if that was possible to make them more imposant.
But the picture is as always perfect and a lovely BG.

Nice Shot John I like the concept of the wide angle lens for this type of shot even though there is not a lot of opportunity to use it down under.
John I'm gonna slip in what you may consider a real Orchid Latter tonight.
