I think I found Azures?

Hey everyone I think I may have found some Azures. I went down to the oregon coast last weekend and I saw lots of different mushroom species. It was definately a great weekend for hunting. So, the first day we found lots of mushrooms that we thought to be Azures. All of the mushrooms we found on both days were growing out of the sand and near seagrass. Some of them bruised blue and others appeared to bruise blue but may have been more black and I know I don't want to confuse the two. All the mushrooms we picked the first day had white stems to with some being brown and white as well. Same thing with the caps. There appeared to be discoloration in the caps if there was discoloration in the stem. I think this may have to do with how old the mushroom is. I would like to think the first four pictures, which are from the first day, are all Azures but I think I may have a few other species mixed in there. The last thing I want to do is eat a poisonous mushroom. I would appreciate any help with identifying the mushrooms in these pictures. Hopefully they are all Azures, otherwise since I dried them all together I wouldn't be able to enjoy that batch. The second day, I think I was able to do a little better. All the mushrooms we found had white stems and same color caps. Both the caps and the stems bruised blue with handling. The last two pictures are from our second day of hunting. I hope these are all Azures. That would make me very happy. Once again I would definately appreciate any help in identifying these mushrooms and happy hunting to all.

hey guys, you think all the mushrooms from the first 4 pictures are really p. azurescens. That would awesome, I just want to make sure that none of them would be poisonous. I'm not even sure if there are poisonous look a likes to azures? I mean I feel good about all the mushrooms in the last 2 pictures.

Look like they are all the same species. Make sure all of them have some bluing.

Since they are fresh, an easy indicator is this.
Smell them.
Psilocybe's have a distinct smell which is pretty strong in my opinion. Smell those blue ones, and just make sure the rest smell similar.
Im pretty certain that in all your pictures, they are indeed all Azurescens. You can easily just pinch each stem too, and look for bluing.
I would also recommend drying those out ASAP, and storing. You'll have plenty of doses.

cant tell with the first four pics - if there is blue staining and they are the same as teh last two im quite sure they are Ps.azurescens - classic textbook azures.
