Requesting positive ID for these Gyms

Found these darlings on my walk through the woods and meadows of the santa cruz mountains. I have been told by a few people on the board they are gymnos, but I'd just like a general consensus of more than one trusted identifier.
Also I'd like to know the psilocybin/psilocin content of these as compared to cubensis (I do not have a scale) 
thanks so much for the help, as always.
Found on a wood chip pile in the middle of a meadow in the forest. Have a medium-strength typical mushroom odor. Waiting on spore prints. The stems are thick and sturdy, they grew VERY gregariously in the chips.

I'm going withe G. luteofolius. They are pretty weak compared with P. cubensis, and taste like ear wax. It's much harder to eat enough for a good experience than to worry about eating too much.
Do I see blue/green tones near some of the cap apexes in those photos, or am I reading the pictures wrong?

btw: many gym eaters seem to recommend tea. probably a good call since the mushrooms do a number on my stomach.

hmm I have no idea how to make tea. Anyone able to describe how to do it? specifically with respect to the dosage for these mushrooms.
Yo Rockefeller, send me a private message. We have much to discuss.

Canid, Do you agree that they are g. lutes also?
And, this may be an offensive question to you trusties, but how am I to ensure for myself that they are not tricholomopsis?

you didn't leave a paper bag of them sitting on the carpet until they were liquid so you're doing well.

tea = 15-25g dry (per person) and ground. boil some water with honey and cinnamon. steep mushrooms for 5-10 minutes, strain mushy chunks.
and enjoy! 
~compliments of Wisco~ and it tastes great!
