Psilocybin Cyanescens OR Galerina Steglichii??

I found these today in the coastal dune grasses of a certain area adjacent to Arcata in Humboldt County, California, which is known for having Cyans. When fresh they were orangish-brown with white, hollow, thin stems that had a bit of white latex when squeezed and bruise when handled. The largest one's cap is approximately 2cm in diameter. Shortly after picking they developed a dark ring around their caps, and bruise what appears to be dark blue but could easily be construed as black. They grew in very close proximity to the dune grass itself, sometimes underneath it. I am having a difficult time judging the hue of the spore print. It does not appear to be in the red spectrum, but I am hesitant to call it purple. It is more of a charcoal, but it is very light.
After much research, I am concerned that they may in fact be Galerina Steglichii, an apparently rare mushroom which bruises black, looks extremely similar to Cyanescens in certain instances, and is highly poisonous. Some sources say it grows in tropical areas, however I cannot confirm this as the information on this particular varietal is limited. Any assistance in identifying these finds will be greatly appreciated.

Galerina steglichii is a rare psilocybin containing mushroom. I don't know its' range. I really can't tell much from the pic you posted. Can you post some larger clearer pics and take a spore print?

Thanks for such a quick response! I apologize about the quality of the pics. The light is terrible. Here are some better ones. In one of them you can see the spore print, it is quite faint, but I am going to wait until tomorrow for a better one to form.

those look like cyans but the pictures are not good enough for positive id. the print color is correct for cyans also
-------------------- Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

Those are Psilocybe cyanescens. No doubt.

I also would like to know if there are mushrooms that contain psilocybin and toxic/harmful chemicals.
