psilocybe id request

hello I just found some mushrooms and I don't want to have kidney failure, I've gone through lot's of posts and have decided that these could be close enough to ask for an id.
The spore print is just very dark, hard to say whether it is purple or just dark brown, not rusty at all though
some of the wetter caps are coated in a dark sticky/oily substance which I can't find information on.
The mushrooms seem to bruise blue slightly around the edges of the cap and on the stem but to me the blue isn't incredibly obvious.
Habitat: growing on a mix of cow manure and wood chips and humus around a tree that I moved recently
Gills: light brown
Stem: Whitish, fibrous, about 1/2 cm
Cap: light brown - orange, smooth, 1.5 inches across (covered in black on the wet ones, the black wipes right off).
Spore print color: Dark, not rusty hard to tell if purple.
Bruising: light blue bruising around stem and edges of cap.
Location: South West Canada.

Psilocybe Cyanescens, nice find.
Wait for a second opinion, but I am 99.9% sure you've got some nice mushrooms there. 
The black is probably just ejected spores, nothing to worry about.

Look like wavy caps to me but wait for a trusted identifier.

I haven't found any yet this year, I just moved back from the other side of the country and don't know of any reliable patches around here yet, I am jealous!

Thank you for the quick replies! I've never found any before, just regular eating mushrooms that are very easy for me! I obviously want to be very careful.
here is the worst one that has the black substance on it, I haven't seen pictures like this.
It does wipe off and really sticks to the fingers

Just looks old and bruised to me. They will bruise so heavily they turn black and that stem STILL looks blue to my eyes.

I just picked them right before I posted the pictures and as far as I understood bruising was the actual flesh and not a coating on top but I was already pretty sure and now with multiple people including a TI telling me that they are good I am quite happy. I'm just curious about the dark coating. Maybe by old you mean growing larger - and that does seem to be the case, the larger ones for the most part are the ones with the dark coating.
I've got a fan on them now but the humidity is up above 80% so I might switch to desiccant in a box if I can find that dry-z-air

This is a thick layer of spores deposited from caps overlapping. In the future, you can use this to "field spore print".

This makes total sense, thank you very much for that information I really appreciate it.
