NZ ID - Psilocybe subraenigosa?

Ok so I stumbled across this site and I'm very new to the whole deal so I'm in need of help lest I eat something harmful. The downside is that as I'm new to this, I'm not very good at describing what I have and the photos aren't the greatest quality.
Caps

Gills


closeup of cap

These have been picked after a fairly decent rain so might be a little sodden.
Habitat: Found these in a woodchip garden beside the footpath in Nelson.
Gills: Brown color.
Stem: Length is about 4-5 cms, however I cut them at ground level.
Cap: Round with a raised bump in the center. Slight frilling at the edges of the cap Diameter = 5cm / slightly over 2 inches color = a dark golden brown
Spore print color: Not sure yet, still sitting on the piece of paper. How long should it take? appears to be turning a dark color, possibly purple.
Thoughts?

Can you explain what you base that on? They look identical to what I'm seeing people upload in the the NZ hunting thread.

There is no 'blue' oxydising signs on that mushroom.. ussaly when you bruise it it will show an awesome blueing, due to the active chemical (psilocybin/psilocin) mixing with air
Subs will bruise blue, non-active/poisonous mushrooms wont
You will find subs in the same habitat though

Yes, the lack of blue bruising, the apparent texture of the stem and cap, and the color of the cap.

I am sorry that you did not find what you are looking for.
