I thought I had posted this back in autumn when I found it,but it seems not.
These were found up on the plateau above the Arnold River hydro dam near Lake Brunner,in mixed native podocarp and beech forest,at the end of autumn in June.
The blue Entoloma hochstetteri had already disappeared,but there were still lots of yellow and orange waxgills around.
Also,I found some brilliant yellow cup fungi,Heterotextus miltinus at the other end of the plateau.

I've hazarded a guess at the ID of this branch fungi.
There are species of Ramaria that are also very similar to this one, but at this stage,Clavaria archer seem the closest match I have found.

Hope you like it.
Thanks for looking.
Cheers
Steve
