Habitat: Found it in a local park in SE suburbs of Melbourne that had a lot of tan-bark and mulch. These were only in one section of the park, under a few trees and bushes. The soil was damp-ish and the ground was littered with leaves, sticks, etc.
Gills: Golden brown/gold/tan. I'm not sure what it means when it says attached or not (this is my first post, sorry) but the gills are not attached to each other, and they are sort of a little bit wavey.
Stem: Length on all of them is about is about 3-4cm's and about .5cm's in width. They are White with Blue-ish lines/shades running through it near the bottom. They are solid and appear to be cracking a little bit.
Cap: Diameter varies from 3cm's to about 6 cm's. Colour is a goldey-brown, similar to the gills, with blue streaks running through it. Texture is smooth. They are all round and curvey downwards making a dome shape (except the bigger one appears to have openes up and is flat)
Spore print color: When I picked them they were a little bit dry so I'm not sure there will be a spore print but I have just started to do one anyway. (I got impatient and wanted to find out now)
Bruising: Like I said, they were sort of dry when I picked them so I think that may have affected bruising but they have blue streaks through the cap

Suggest you bioassay them relatively quickly, looking very much like they are getting close to their used-by date.

Forgive me, but what does bioassay-ing involve?

Just for future knowledge...

Bioassay (Biological Assay) is a procedure for the determination of the concentration of a particular constituent of a mixture
Or in other words, a good way of saying eat

This may be a silly question, but are you suggesting that they will go off and become toxic or simply turn inactive

They are getting old, and will eventually get moldy and gross like any food. They look to be fine in those shots though.
