I.D request, possible p,sub

I really hope the 2nd batch is some subs, please help me out guys and girls as im new to all this!!! and VERY VERY hopefully...
1st pair of mushrooms I defiantly know this isn't a sub, but id like to know wat it is anyway.
Habitat: Tambark in someones front lawn (hehe), looked old. Eastern suburbs of Melbourne. Gills: The gill are a creamy white, or more yellow-white. Stem: Length was about 5cm, same colour as gills and it was thick. Cap: was about 2-3cm in length, orangey-brown and was slimey as hell! No spore print sorry  Bruising: Was bruising a orange colour.
Pictures VVVVV

2nd find, a little more promising.
Habitat: Tambark surrounded by little hedges, with some tree in the middle (all included in pics) These mushrooms were all over the joint in random spots, singularly or next to each other. Eastern suburbs of Melbourne once again. Gills: the gills are light brown, or browny colour. *please know im new to this, and not up with all the limbo on describing. but im trying to learn. Stem: Various sizes from little as 2cm to maybe 10-11. They are mainly white, with brown on them, but when i washed them they appear closer to white, so they were dirty. Cap: I have some baby one and some mature ones, mainly the same colour, a caramel/golden brown cap. the little ones were about 1-2cm in length, and the big ones could be about 5-6cm, and some were starting to curl up. Spore print: Currently doing two samples, will get back on pictures with that. Bruising: Now this is the confusing part, coz i saw these babies a distance away, and funny enough i was heading back to class (yes i found these at school) and only grabbed one and chucked it in my pocket, on inspection it had a blue tinge to it. as i left it, it got abit darker. (this is the first picture) Im unsure on how to pinch them properly, so some i lightly cut the surface with my nails or just squeezed them. some are showing tinges of blue, some arnt, but theres not straight out "omg thats blue!", some are close to that but yeh.
i will be whipping out the good old Nikon and taking some good shots, ill get everything and ill be back with spore prints!
oh and its been heavily raining all day today, thought thats worth mentioning.

Well, the habitat pics (2+3) are too blurry and distant to make a definite statement about everything in the pictures that looks like a mushroom, but 1,4,5 and 6 are all Psilocybe subaeruginosa.

Agree second lot of photos look good.
Notice the blue bruising on the one in your palm. If you are not sure pinch their gills when you pic them and then have a look at them later - there should be blue bruising.

your a champ German Kahuna thanx for the i.d! pictures 2+3 are where i picked all them from,
im just scared, coz i found them in a very, very, VERY obvious spot. i just hope their there for when i actually need them.
should i dry out what i have? and save em for another time? or by wat means can i store them for maybe 1-2 weeks away, as i cant have them any time soon.
+ how long will these last in there fresh state? i have them in a container with the lid of for the moment,

In the fridge they will stay fresh for about a week, but not longer. But if you've picked them wet during or after a rainfall, spread them out and wait until all the excess external water has dried off before puting them in the fridge, that way they won't rot as fast. If you intend to keep them longer than that, spread them out on a sheet of newspaper and point a fan at them. Then dry them until cracker dry (stems will snap when bent). When they are cracker dry you can put them in a tupper box or a plastic ziploc bag and store them in a cool, dark and dry place and they'll virtually keep forever (by "forever" I mean months and years). But make sure that ALL mushrooms really are cracker dry, because if only one or two aren't totally dry they'll spoil the whole batch and your mushrooms will turn into moldy garbage.

You don't need a fan actually. Spreading them out on some newspaper at room temperature in a spot that has good air circulation will dry them, too. It just takes a little longer. I dry mushrooms like that all the time. I've had heaps sit on top of a cupboard for weeks before I remembered to take them down. By that time they WERE cracker dry. 
PS: this website is 18+, so you might want to not talk too much about being worried about parents.

Go back to that spot every other week and collect your stash as long as the season lasts. They'll keep fruiting for many weeks.
