P. Cyanescens Identification?

Hello Shroomery,
I'm in the PNW and stumbled across what matches the description of Psilocybe Cyanescens. Unfortunately I did not take pictures this time so perhaps someone more experienced could help confirm they are not poisonous look-alikes.
Three days ago I collected 20 very small mushrooms between 1 and 4cm, the majority of them pinheads - yes I was ruthless.
I found them scattered about a heavily non-cedar-mulched woodland park under sword ferns and salal.Larger fruits had classic wavy caps (although no larger than 2 cm) All fruits had telltale white stipes that bruised blue/green to eventually purple/black. The pileus was very caramel and some hygrophanous.
I attempted to take spore prints on index cards but failed because they squashed in my pocket leaving wet blue blotches and trace black/purple spores.
My question: Is this enough evidence to safely confirm P.Cyanescens?

No, a description from someone we don't know isn't reliable evidence like a photo, but they sound very much like them.

I don't think anyone will feel comfortable confirming that without a picture.
