Hi all, just wondering if i can have help ID'ing these few, the look like worse for wear subs.
 
left is the "fresh" ones. right have dried a little over night.
Habitat: side of tanbark playground with pine needles from nearby pine tree.
Gills : brown
Stem: dirty, whitish, slight blueish tinge.
Cap: brown, drying to lighter more golden brown
Sporeprint: purple/brown
Bruising: blueish, but light (due to age and condition of shrooms?)
Location: melbourne SE burbs, heathmont.
Hard to see the colours in photo that well. have picked hundreds of subs just never near tanbark/woodchps.

You know without a spore print we're not allowed to confirm or deny an id request there. I can tell you sounds just like the habitat that alot of Melbournes inner city shrooms thrive. And They do look alot like weathered subs to me. If you've picked 100's of subs before you should have a fair idea. Did you notice were they dried jet black spore prints being dropped around where they were lying? They may have been too old too spore, this is also as you said why there would be little bruising, the mushrooms were already bruised.
Good find

Attempting to identify these shrooms is going to be very hard with the information given. I'm just a NOOB and I have a hard time learning about local (USA) shrooms. I'm guessing there are innumerable shrooms that are not native to The States.
The cap resembles Caulorhiza umbonata, but you said the gills are brown, (the Rooting Redwood Collybia has off-white to pinkish gills).
Looks like a type of Agrocybe. Gill attachment is helpfull in identification. Also, there are many mushrooms that can only be possitivly identafied with the use of a microscope!
I'm a noob so take it with a grain of salt. There are many people who visit this site with tons of knowledge.
Have fun and don't put anything into your mouth unless your positive you know what it is!

The spore print will be a dark purple brown. Make sure all of them stain blue so you don't get something toxic mixed in.
