Looks likely to be an old, decaying Russula sp

Interesting to note the colour on the edge of the gills

@Pam yeah, that colour is why I've left it unconfirmed. The pileus suggests Russula, but the gills, unless quite decayed, are a very odd colour.

It's obviously a somewhat aged and weathered so I suspect the gill edge is an artefact of aging/weathering. Interestingly, Gates & Ratkowsky's book about Tasmanian fungi includes Russula 'red-yellow' (p 143, 2nd ed), which they note as a common species that they can't match to a described species. It has a red viscid cap and yellow gills. I wonder if this was viscid initially.
