One Species Only:


Habitat: Prince Edward Island, Canada. Kind of a mixture of everything where I was looking, lots of wood-like sticks in tall grass of some sort and decaying wood logs. As the picture shows, some were growing directly in and beside a rotting log. I found some growing in the ground I think, but like I said there were lots of thin, wood-like sticks covering the ground in tall growth area(3-1/2ft. approx.)so I couldn't exactly tell if they were directly in the ground or not.
Gills: Grayish-brown gills, adnexed.
Stem: 3.5-7cm(smallest-largest), 4-5cm(largest), blue-ish white, fibrous, hollow, thickish(diameter above), some mostly straight, some curved once or more than once.
Cap: 1.5-6cm(smallest-largest), blue with yellowish-cream color in random areas, mostly slimy;I scraped the slime off(the blue and yellow came off with it for the most part)of a couple and the color was a whitish-grayish-bluish mix. Some are more convex, the larger ones more flat, and some seem to have a very slight knob.
Spore print color: Kinda hard for me to tell. I would say it's a light black but I think I see some gray or maybe a purplish tint. Maybe someone can tell by the picture. I left it for about an hour, maybe I need to do a longer one to make it more dense?
Bruising: They were mostly blue(except for yellowish areas) when I picked 'em and they pretty much stayed that way so far.
Other information: Not much of a scent to them.
Thanks for any help in advance. I can take more pictures if necessary.

They are in the group that includes Stropharia aerigunosa, Stropharia pseudocyanea and Stropharia caerulea. They're always nice to find. But not active, not "blueing". Being in a habitat of both grass and mulch makes it difficult to narrow down further.
Ah, I just read they are growing from the wood. So probably not S. pseudocyanea.
