ID needed - Melbourne, east

Hi, I'm fairly new to this only started learning about the whole concept 1/2 weeks ago. I set out to attempt to find Psilocybe Subaeruginosa (subs?).
Habitat: wood chip / tan bark, was in a park with alot of trees and plants ETC:D
Gills: light brown to darker brown
Stem: White, alot of blue brusing on some, when left in bag for 2 hours brusing went a bit blue greenish - is this normal?
Cap: brown, see photo hard to explain
Spore print color: did a small 40 minute one, wasn't really air tight at all. Came up as a purple/brownish spore print.
Bruising: blue brusing, though it sort of went blue/greenish after left in bag for 2 hours :o
Location: East suburbs of Melbourne
Photos : clcik to enlarge










 If they turn out to be 'good', I'd like to make a powder so any tips on what to do (even though I've obviously read up quite a bit on this) - would be helpfull.
Thankz

I swear I've seen a thousand subs coming from Australia lately. It's not fair. It's like they're as common as micaceus there!

Is there still point uploading a picture of the spore print when it is done ?

Awesome, I'll probably wait for a few more ID's just to be on the extremely safe side.
I've cleaned them up with tissues, most of the dirt is off them. Should I just put them near a heater for a few hours than put them in an air tight container? My goal is to make a powder.

No need to wait for more ID's they are definately Psilocybe subaeruginosa as stated above.
You want them completely dry, before you store them otherwise they will go moldy and rot. A fan combined with a heater is good for this there are other methods though.
Good luck.

Was with OP this morning when we found these, SO HAPPY that they're actives. 
Cheers for the fast replies!
We left a lot of small ones in the spot, as we're expecting rain in the next few days, so I'm hoping they will grow out again and we'll be able to harvest some more. Am I right in thinking these will likely grow back in the same spot?
Also regarding OP's question, to make a powder I suggested using a mortar and pestle once they're dried properly. Thoughts?
Love the community here.

Yuhhhp. Mortar and pestle for the win; just make sure not to waste the powder that gets caked on the bowl. Pour a warm water in there when your done and scrape it off.
Happy munchingzzzz!

Will do, thanks heaps for the tip! In powder form, what is a good dosage to start with/how long would you need to wait before feeling effects? Sorry about all the questions, we're new to this and very excited.
