The apparently free gills that are white to pinkish, blue grey cap and growth on wood point more to Pluteus salicinus. Spores should be pinkish which could be considered light brown.
Your photos aren't really clear enough to make a definative identification so don't eat it.

Pluteus salicinus is active. But your ID can't be confirmed with those pictures. Its just an educated guess at this point.

Are these fesable to grow if its is in fact the pluteus...Would it be worth my time to take it up to the college to get a photo of the spores.

I've been trying to grow this species for years. There is something about Pluteus spores that resist germination on sterile media. I have recently found out that this is a well documented problem with Pluteus in general. A clone should work but I haven't had the opportunity to test that.

That explains a lot (of my failed attempts).

They are of low to moderate potency. Someone found some in MI last week and ate 3 or 4 and it worked.
Some better pics would be great to see so we can help confirm your ID. Were these growing from an old log?

Potency = weakly too moderately active. Stijve and Kuyper (1985) reported .05-.25%psilocybin, no psilocin, and from zero too .008% baeocystin. Christiansen et al. (1984) found 0.35% psilocybin and 0.11%psilocin.
