Habitat: Wood chips with dirt and fallen twigs and other leaf matter.
Gills: White, to milky colour, turned to a blue colour around the rim on the outside of underside of mushroom. Stem: Milky Whitish, pretty fragile, blue bruising everywhere after picking, 1cm wide.
Cap: At time of picking had a dull orange to brown colour, shiny, smooth, 2 days after picking has turned milky white with blue bruising.
Spore print colour: In the works, taking one now.
Bruising: Blue wherever bruised.
Location: Eastern suburbs, Sydney Australia.
Pictures:(sorry for the poor image quality only camera i have, spore print being taken as i type this .)
The more colour the cap has the closer to when it was picked.

They are Psilocybe subaeruginosa. Try cut them off without removing so much mycelium next time.

Subs dude, congrats on the find.
Next time use scissors and save that Mycelium for next time.
Peace.

Also if that is a plastic bag then take them out of it I am amazed they haven't started rotting already.

Fair call. Wack then into a paper bag bag then straight in front of a fan for a day to dry them. Just so they don't rot.
It is, but taking a Spore Print and distributing the spores will give you more luck.

Sort of, I am too lazy to decipher into my own words atm. 
Quote:
German Kahuna said: It isn't hard to grow them outdoors at all. Make a bed out of woodchips in a shady place of your backyard and place a few pieces of mushroom (preferrably from the base with mycelium on it) between layers of wet cardboard. Keep it moist for a few weeks. Check if the mycelium is propagating every once in a while.
The mycelium should now have propagated across a fair part of the cardboard (always do this in the shade. Unlike plants that do photosynthesis, mushrooms don't like direct sunlight, as it makes them dry out). Now you shred up the cardboard and mix it in with the bed of woodchips.
Cover the woodchips with a thin layer of a mix of gardening soil and - if available - 10% vermiculite. Then cover that with another thin layer of twigs and leaf litter. Make sure that your bed is moist at all times, but not too wet. It can handle natural rain, no problem, but don't turn it into a pool of water all the time or it will hinder mycelial growth badly.
Next season you will in all likelihood have your own Psilocybe subaeruginosa mushroom patch in your garden. To maintain it for the following years, just keep mixing new woodchips under (preferrably hardwood, but a mix of woodchips and mulch will do, too).

Can these be grown with the standard PF tek?
I've seen allot of talk about growing these outdoors but the pf tek is, i think would be simpler for me?
Anyone have any success?

Ok im a little worried, i was reading up on Psilocybe subaeruginosa(I.D of original post shrooms) and read that Conocybe filaris(DEADLY)(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conocybe_filaris) often get mistaken for these should there be any worries? another look would be highly appreciated.
Big thanks.
