User's notes
Expect the unexpected. The first image shows a small fungus amongst the leaf litter, the result of recent rains. There's a small spider hiding in plain sight on the lower left edge of the cap. This spider is shown in greater detail in the second image. Hiding out of the rain beneath the cap was a second spider, as seen in the final two images.

given it's in Brisbane, this is likely H. jugulans, genus is good for now though as procera has appeared in places around the suburbs before too :)
