URGENT ID REQUEST WESTERN VICTORIA

I found these ones growing close to some gymnopilus, they look very similar to P. Sugenerosa. I'm hoping they are them, but I'm still a bit unsure, I'm very sorry for the image quality.
They were found in rich soil in forests in the western districts of victoria, growing in rich soil surrounded by stone and gumtrees. The tops were rounded and orange like, except now that they have been picked they have gone a tinge of yellow - which by memory isn't good news.
I'm a bit colour blind and cannot tell if the "bruising" is slighty grey or blue on a few of them.
I cannot see the gills because the tops are rounded and slightly spherical. I have not done a sporeprint because I don't know how too when the gills aren't exposed.
Please help!
Thank you very much.
Once again, sorry about the poor images.
What I'm most concerned about is that it isn't a poisionous sub-species of sugenerosa/cubenesis, and that the bruising is in fact blue.
Thanks
Once again sorry about the bad images, I don't have a decent camera.

You say you found these?
They look like cultivated cubes to me.

They aren't even anything close to P. cubensis or in fact the genus Psilocybe at all. Looks more like a Boletus or Suillus, but the pics are truly terrible. But that would explain the bluing. They are not active mushrooms.

They're baby Gymnopilus junonius.
EDIT: A taste test will confirm this. Take a small piece(10 cent sized) and put it in your mouth, bite down on it and use your tongue to taste the juices. Spit the piece out along with any saliva. Then rinse your mouth with water and spit. If they're Gymnopilus they will be very bitter.
Pictures need to be clearer to determine what colour the bruising is. I've yet to come across a Blue/Green staining G. junonius here in Australia.

The don't look much like boletus or suillus, but I suppose that's attributed to what you saw in the pics, sorry. Quick question, how can people determine if it's not active?

I think the individual bigger one might be a young gymnopilus? Those photo's are so bad it could be anything. In some pics there's white stems - in others it seems yellow/orange.

Yeah on a few of them since I picked them the stems have gone yellowy-orange. Is this significant? Cheers

Apologies to all, thought I saw blueing on them and a couple of the shots looked very much like photos I have seen of cultivated mushrooms. 
I will be more careful in the future.
