Hyomyces disguises the true colour of pores. So a guess could be either Boletus barragensis or maybe B. tasmanicus

Most Boletes are mycorrhizal so it can be useful if you note the tree/plant species that are possibly associated with it. It would then be interesting to see if there's a correlation between particular species (even if we only have images and don't have a definite id for the fungus) and particular tree/plant species.

Hi @Pam. Thanks for your comment. I'll try to include details/images of adjacent tree/plant species to help with identification. It would probably be useful to contributors if the Boletes sighting page mentioned things such as this, which help fungi identification. Regards, Tim
