Please help with the identifying of some dried shrroms

Greetings all!
So about a year and a half ago I brought home a grow kit from Amsterdam from a reputable shop. Anyhow, I grew a shit load of shrooms, about 5 or 6 harvests. After carefully picking each batch in order not to damage the substrate I air dried them with paper in a very low temp oven with the over door open (a technique I found here somewhere). Anyhow, I've only taken around .25 grams of them so far (yes i know - pathetic!) but i would first like to identify them so i know what the right amount to take.
After being dried that were placed into an airtight glass jar which has been sitting in the back of a dark cupboard. I check on them now and then and they seem good to me.
Anyhow, here on some pics i took of them today. You can see that they still show the blue bruising when i picked them. One of the caps has a big black spot on it (middle shroom) but it does not look bacterial to me.
Can anyone identify these? The specimens below were quite large when i picked them... they're around 10cm tall.
Thanks!

It's defiantly an active species. P. Cubensis is most likely if you bought them. They look like alot of dried psilocybe subaeruginosa i've seen on this site aswell... and from what I see they're fruiting hard across seas right now what's your' location?

Psilocybe cubensis. Dark spot is spore deposit. He grew them from an Amsterdam-bought grow kit. Ofcourse they are cubes.

Thanks for the quick reply! They look in good condition so I'll give them a whirl now. I reckon a 1g dose just to initially gauge their strength.
Have a great weekend!

1 gm is to small, IMHO
2-3 gm.... Home grown, sounds like aged if you grew them a while ago

1.5 gs dried will def. be enough to gauge their strength... 3gs can be intense for a new time tripper.
I had some dried cubes from a buddy one time, I underestimated their strength, (Because of all the other cubes & weilii ive done before) so I said "fuck it ima start with an 8th". I tripped ridiculously and at one point it turned into the worst trip of my life... All i'm saying is start your dosage low and gradually take more, that way, it doesn't hit you all at once, and you don't freak the fuck out!!

I ended up taking 2g as a well brewed tea. I drank the tea at 7pm and started to come on around 20 minutes later. From what I experienced it could be described as a level 2 trip which is what I was going for.
Lots of color cycling, texture animation, multi colored fractals. I ended up watching a movie with my fiancé which was pretty amazing as the entire experience was like watching it in 3d. My intention is not to waste trips on watching movies, but to really try to make contact with my spiritual side. I would like to prepare myself for a level 5 trip and experience an ego death. Any advice regarding this?
Regarding the strength of the dried shrooms, they may be almost 2 years old, but they are pretty much the same potency as they were when I first cultivated them.
