ID request - hoping for subs -ACT/NSW

Hi guys here I have 2 subs and a bunch of others I am not 100% sure about. I am hoping they are dried subs as they were all found in the same area!
* Habitat- Found in a collection of damp bark on the ground under a large tree amongst leaves as well. By a creek maybe 10m away. Was found in NSW Australia, bordering ACT (Uriarra Forest area) - hope its not too specific, maybe 1000ft alt? not sure
* Characteristics of the gills - similar colour to the cap but slightly darker?
* Characteristics of the stem Stems are 3-4cm long very thin as you can see in the picture, light and dark brown. Almost fully dried but soft enough to press firmly and not snap.
* Characteristics of the cap - 1-2cm in diameter in their current state, light brown, bronze colour almost caramel like. Slightly damp but 90% dry, won't crumble. Curled in due to dryness.
* Spore print color -not sure sorry, please see pictures i've tried my best with crappy camera phone
* Color that the mushroom bruises - can't bruise due to dryness but i've noticed some stems are darker than others as they may have bruised before drying of maybe it's dirt?
* Scent of the mushroom - can't smell it but the subs smell like dew
* Anything else you might find important - Season started in this area almost a month ago. It hasn't rained where I picked them in the last week that's why they may be this dry. This area is known to grow subs and i found these all in bark within 5meters of where I found the 2 subs (which have bruised blue and are much fresher and match all the characteristics of subs - I've gotten them before so I'm pretty sure). I just don't know what subs look like when u pick them after they have dried.
If these turn out to be dried subs (which i'm hoping for) are they still active? I assume this would just be similar to drying shrooms?
Please help thanks!

They don't look like them to me, and I doubt if anyone will ever be able to nail down exactly what they are. Dried mushrooms are notoriously difficult to identify. If they're not subs, then the chances of them being active are less than 1%.

Don't even THINK about eating those. You've been warned.

Just throw them away. + go for another hunt after a good hit of rain, much better to wait a week or two for a trip than to die a slow painful death from poisoning
