Clubs or stalks (maybe a forked or broader apex)
A fungus in this group has a fruitbody that is basically no more than a club or stalk in appearance.
There may some broadening centrally to give a spindle-like look or the fruitbody may broaden towards the apex (but there is no well-differentiated cap).
In some the stalk may fork at the apex, but the fruitbodies lack the branching found in the coralloid fungi (https://canberra.naturemapr.org/Community/Categories/Guide/1732).

Fungimap supplies the following information. "Septobasidium clelandii is a parasitic fungus that can be found emerging from swellings on Tea-tree twigs. However it is not parasitic on the Tea-tree, but on the female of a coccid bug (Callococcus leptospermi) that forms galls on several species of Leptospermum. It also parasitises another coccid that inhabits Mealeuca decussata. The fruiting bodies look like tiny dark blades. "

I'm not game enough to identify a Calocera to species from a photo alone.
Calocera sp.
