I have no idea which species of sporocarp (fungi) this one is (40mm long). There are thousands waiting to be identified. Maybe mine is a new one?
Fungi comprise a huge proportion of Australia’s biodiversity in terms of sheer numbers. There are many times more fungi in Australia than plants - maybe 250, 000 fungi compared to 21,000 to 23,000 native plant species. There is little known about most of them – maybe only about 5-10% have been named to date. FungiBank!

I'm hoping for a wet autumn so some fungi appear, the last couple have been a dead loss here in Gippsland. Fascinating plants.
