It's more likely to be a small Hypochaeris radicata because the leaves are clearly hispid; the H. glabra leaves either lack hairs or only have a few present.
The first photo shows a dried, herbarium collection. In the top central fruitbody part of the brown fleshy layer has shrunk and split to reveal some of the middle, whiteish fibrous layer. At the lower left you see the white, radial streaks on the underside of the arms, bits of the fibrous layer that show through the radially cracked mycelial layer (as explained at: https://canberra.naturemapr.org/species/21877- and there’s a closer view in the second photo).
Most Trachymela cannot be identified to species level vsisually. This one has particularly rough surface of elytra and deep large and darkened pit behind the humaral zone of the elytra. Common and variable but quite distinctive.
