    I'm not 100 percent sure, but the thickness/morphology of the shelf and the pores here look more consistent with something like T. lactinea. See my observation here:

    This species has been found in Taiwan, so maybe it wouldn't be too far-fetched if it were found in Australia as well? If you are on iNaturalist, tag pucak . She may be able to help with this one.

    As for this being T. modesta (now called Ranadivia modesta), I'm really not sure. How thick/sturdy was this specimen? Because from what I'm seeing in R. modesta specimens, they are quite flimsy compared to many Trametes- and the pseudostem at their bases is fairly pronounced. What do you think?
