 ID Request - Southwest Western Australia

Habitat: Wood - Found at the base of eucalyptus and pine trees
Gills: Cream to Brown
Stem: White, half a centimetre wide.
Cap: Half an inch to an inch in diameter, golden brown.
Bruising: Definite blue bruising.
Location: Picked in SW Western Australia.
Found approximately 25 of these, pretty sure they are Psylocibe Subaeruginosa. Confirmation of this would be most appreciated :P Also, a few of them seem old and quite decayed, are these safe to consume or should I get rid?
2nd pic is a closeup of the decayed shrooms.
Also, apologies about the crude manner in which these shrooms were picked. We were a bit panicky....local law enforcement...

You found the goods, Psilocybe Subaeruginosa, the decaying ones are caused from fly larvae

fly larvae huh? Thing is, they all looked like they were in a degree of decay, some much worse than others. We were going to dry them and make them into tea later. Is it safe to consume these mushrooms in any manner?
