Unfortunately, it might be a genus where I'd need to look at a specimen to get an ID.

@Heinol Thanks for the comments. The 'teeth' were fuzzy as you mention. The next time I visit this area I'll get some 5X close-up images to help with identification.

Your suggested Xylodon has irregular/jagged-edged pores. This fungus has separate, well-defined 'teeth' or blunt spines - obviously closely packed. There are several genera of such toothed fungi. When I look at the enlarged version of you main photo the teeth seem a little fuzzy - which suggests that there are numerous microscopic organs called cystidia poking out from the surfaces of those teeth. Such a feature would narrow the number of possible genera but I can't yet restrict myself to just one genus.

This might be an immature Omphalotus nidiformis but I did once collect a different orange-ish Omphalotus/Pleurotus at Jervis Bay.
