ID Needed for mushroom growing in bathroom. 1

I was having a shower, and as I reached forward to grab the soap, I noticed a mushroom growing from the soil of a pot plant. Upon closer inspection I noticed that there was one mature specimen, 2 pins and another almost mature specimen.
I am located in Tasmania, Australia; but I can't be sure of where the plant or soil which this mushroom is growing from originated.
Here is the plant:

And the mushrooms...


I'm hoping these pictures are sufficient enough to get an accurate ID, but if not I can pick the larger one, get better pictures and take a spore print.

... The last pic has basal mycelium that looks like ovoids .... Best bathroom shrooms ever. Do they bruise blue?

Ovoids in Aussie territory! Wtf?

Will do. From looking at the underside of the cap the spores appear to be black. Is that a good sign? Will take a print now and post back later.

That was my initial thought as well, but after a closer look it didn't seem to resemble any of the subs I've found before.

More pics:

I'm going to laugh so hard if you found a sub growing in your bathroom.. Probably isn't though. I don't see bruising & it looks a little off, but that could be coz it grew in your bathroom and not outside.

I can't notice any bluing either, but I'll give it a bit more time and wait for the spore print also.
Any ideas to what it may be if it is not a Psilocybe species?

how did that get into your plant in the first place? I've never heard of any mushroom growing in an indoor potted plant.

No idea... those plants have been in my bathroom for years and this is the first time i have noticed mushrooms growing from the soil.
Is it possible there may have been mushroom spores in the tap water that was used to water these plants?

Hmmm I doubt it... do you use a rain water tank?

No, just regular tap water, so I guess that rules out that theory.

You probably carried spores in from your clothes or something. There are billions of spores in the air as well. Could be a number a different ways for this to happen. I think I'd be happy if I found some in one of my plants.

That could be Psilocybe moravica.
