Are these rain beaten schrooms P. Cyanescene?

I went hunting for the first time today just south of Ft Stevens, right after a massive rainstorm, leftovers from a Japanese typhoon. We got 3.6" on Saturday breaking the record of 1.15" in 1893! 4.5" total for the weekend over three storms. It beat up these shrooms pretty good. They look like cyans, the stems looked a smidge blue, but the stems don't look blue now and no bluing on the caps at all. I picked them and brought them home to see what their prints do... at the very least I'll learn what NOT to pick, which is a really good thing.
These were collected near Ft Stevens, Astoria, Oregon, Earth.
They are busy making spore prints right now. After two hours they look indiscernible brownish. So I'll leave 'em on the paper with their cups overnight. They are pretty wet.
Qualified opinions on the pics appreciated with thanks from the liver and kidneys.
Thanks! I learned a LOT on this site.

It reminds me of a Inocybe, is the cap slimy or just wet?

I fed it some mushrooms. It was in two places at once! (I put it there for scale. That was my first one.) I took my Fuji XP waterproof with me. Takes amazing close ups and is waterproof too!

The cap is wet and slimy. The stalks were also a bit slimy.

I believe it is the collinitus. It was collected from a thick bed of moss covering a lot of old pine branches from several felled pine trees. Still no blueing on the stems and the spore prints are looking brown to slightly rusty. Certainly no blue or purple or black.
From Roger's Mushrooms:
Cortinarius (Myxacium) collinitus (Sow. ex Fr.) Fr. s. Lange Blaustieliger Schleimfuss Cortinaire à bracelets Cap 2–10cm across, convex then expanded with a low broad umbo, yellow-brown to tawny or dark rust, often darker at centre, glutinous drying shiny, margin incurved at first, sometimes slightly grooved. Stem 50–120´7–20mm, apex white to bluish, concolorous with cap below cortinal zone and covered in bluish bands of velar remains. Flesh whitish to yellowish, sometimes tinged bluish in stem apex. Taste mild, smell none. Gills pale violaceous or clay at first, later rusty. Spore print rust. Spores elliptic to almond- or lemon-shaped, rough, 12–20 x 7–9µ. Habitat conifer woods, more rarely deciduous. Season late summer. Occasional. Edibility unknown –avoid, many Cortinarius contain toxins –avoid, many Cortinarius contain toxins. Distribution, America and Europe
