I reckon it's only going to be a few more days before the larger mushroom is mature. The smaller one at the front is still growing very slowly.

The larger one would be at least 1.5cm tall, probably closer to 2cm. But the smaller one is still very small, less than 1cm in height.

No, not particularly. I didn't if you were watering it or not so i just typed that. But it does look nicer in the second picture "after misting"

Make sure you keep the humidity up in your bathroom, maybe splash water around the shower 3 times a day or put a humidity tent over the plant.

That's what I was thinking.
I'm unsure of the name of the plant it's growing with though. Anyone else have any ideas?

Couple of pics from today
 
And also, some faint bluing is visible at the base of the mycelium. It's much easier to see in person than in this picture.

And I found out just a few minutes ago that the plant it is growing with is a maidenhair fern.

When I checked yesterday I thought both mushrooms were dead. They looked half dried and a bit shrivelled up, but after checking them today I found them to be in great health.
 
Didn't get any pics from yesterday, but I have some from the day before.

Psilocybes often mature slowly, especially in cultivation, but these are glacier slow..

Would it benefit from being left outside during the day and then being taken back inside overnight?

The cap is slightly larger today, and I can see it's grown taller. The bluing at the base of the stem is now more obvious as well. The smaller one is still hanging in there, but it's taking it's time.

it almost seems like once a mushroom has been seen by human eyes its growth completely slows down!
