Very cool pagoda-like brown and white fungus with tiered discs on central stem. Two to three cm tall. First time I have seen one of these. Percy Scenic Reserve, Lower Hutt.
Dark so I couldn't clearly identify. When I walked within a 100 feet, it made a barking sound and began slowly advancing. I hurriedly backed away and it stopped till after a minute it ran off. Probably just a noisy feral cat but foxes have been seen in the area as well. Not sure if that helps any 😅
Appears to be gymnopilus spp.
