Growing out of wood log under manuka / kanuka and 'celery' tree, with odd rimu and pinus radiata about. Based upon specific location, suspect it was fruiting from a 'celery' tree branch. But my knowledge of log / tree connection isn't perfect!
Cap was black colored, photos didn't come out in focus (not used to using the flash)
Hopefully will get to mico work.
Apologies for no in-situ shots, camera ran out of batteries
