mushroom identification - cap stains blue, but stem does not...

Greetings,
I recently found a large patch of mushrooms in the park near me
You can see the area of plain dirt they were found in, also they came in big clumps (i dont know whether this is a bad sign for subs)
Upon bruising the caps become very inky, however the stem does not, except where it has contacted the bruised cap.
These white stems are not what i've been told to look for with psilocybe aubaurgensia (or whatever they are).
They are about 8cm tall, with a 3mm or so stem diameter, found melbourne SE subutbs, the rest should be pretty much self evident in the photos.
I am wondering if perhaps this is another species of psilocybe, edible, and dont want to see a good 3 or 4 more bunches like the one photo'd go to waste, if someone can make me confident that ive found something worthwhile
any help would be much appreciated.. cheers

I can't remember what they're called...Some sort of Mycenia, if im not mistaken.
In any case, not active. I used to find those all the time in TN. Spore prints resulted in a sticky blog of melted-cap.
Cool to find at first, but altogether useless mushrooms.

Coprinus atramentarius or micaceus more than likely.

Yup, Coprinellus... Usually edible (not active), but considering how sandy those are, I wouldn't bother with them.
Also, irock, you should learn what blue bruising looks like... it is not like inky goo.

These things grow in my backyard, but they are totally useless. A cluster will pop up one day, but then the next they will be dead just leaving a black skeleton sort of growth :S

Dude, the ones you're looking for are Psilocybe subaeruginosa, there's plenty of information about the species on this forum. Look for man-made mulched gardens in parks, not dirt piles. Do a forum search. Read the Melbourne thread. You'll find what you're looking for soon enough.
You should not look at the mushroom and think "maybe that's blue", it's a definite blue colour change, no ifs, buts or maybes.
