Hey guys first post here so i apologise if i somehow breech protocol. i live in auckland new zealand and these mushrooms were found in waikumete cemetery in west auckland. i am almost certain they are psychoactive based on previous mushroom finds as they look extremely similar if not identical to a batch i found and tripped on a few years ago. the only thing that makes me un certain is the lack of definite blue/green bruising, though there are hints of pale green oxidisation around the perimeter of the caps and where there are injuries to the mushroom. i have given as accurater description as my limited biological knowledge has allowed and any help would be greatly appreciated, sorry about average pictures. they were the best i could manage to get out of my digital camera.
peace
Habitat:
found on fallen and rotting logs on a piece of grass bordering bush/scrub.
Gills:
white/cream when picked, now olive brown/green. some still white/cream.
Stem:
reasonably thin white stem which appears to be hollow. on the largest mushroom i came across (though patch did not seem fully mature)measured 4-4.5cm. texture is relatively hard.
Cap: 2.5cm on largest mushroom, dark brown in the centre with a small nipple fading to light yellow/cream on the periphery, dry but soft and smooth texture, reasonably flat on the more mature specimens.
Spore print color: waiting for spore print, will post results tomorrow.
Bruising: have gone very dark brown/black in areas of intense bruising and there appears to be pale green oxidisation around the outside of the cap and where the skin has been broken/damaged.

You're gonna need better pictures than that... Way too blurry! I think they look like Psilocybes but I'm no TI so wait for a educated opinion and in the mean time, try and get some focused flicks

They don't look like actives from your neck of the woods, photos are a bit crap, TimmiT is most probably right on the money though. Also don't keep mushrooms that aren't already dried in a plastic bag, they'll rot very quickly.

cheers for the response. mmm im aware photos are below average but its the best i could get with my camera, which i suspect is faulty. also i have only been keeping them in a plastic bag in an attempt to accelerate definitive bruising as this is what im missing at the moment. from what you guys have said and my own scepticism it looks like these are headed for the compost, cheers for the advice.

are you sure they aren't hypholoma capnoides? not questioning your id, just curious. hypholoma fasciculare are poisonous correct?

I only thought they may be psilocybes cos I thought I could see faint bruising in the last pic... But when blown up its just flash flare. Oh well

Feel free to question any IDs, I don't mind at all. I went with H. fasciculare because he describes green/brown gills. Yes, I believe they are poisonous.
