Yes, the images are bad, I know... I wish I had a better camera, but it's several towns away right now.
Habitat: growing from wood chips, in a dirt/wood chipped substrate (attached directly to the wood chip/s)
Gills: cinnamon brown, darkening when dry, adnate to subdecurrent
Stem: white/whitish, blue ring on stem directly under cap on some, slightly curvy, about 3cm tall, about 3.2cm tall when held straight (uncurved), center of stem hollow
Cap: Slightly dark edge, creamy colored cap, fading to a light brown at the umbo, tip of umbo slightly darker brown, viscid pillicle, gills visible until slightly off the edge (not all the way up the cap), about a 2.8cm diameter
edit: younger caps are bell/conical, older caps are flattented/wavy
Bruising: bluing of stem/cap (bruised blue on stem/cap when picked, darkening/darkened when dry)
General location: pnw, western wa
spore print: looked like spores on some of the caps, rusty brown, might not have been spores... I did a print though
I hope this is enough info, and that I explained it properly.

I would say Psilocybe stuntzii. Can you get clearer pics?

I can't right now, for several hours at least... By then, the caps will probably be dried out, so I might have to wait until tomorrow, and take pictures of a couple new caps... I will as soon as I can.
Thank you for trying to help.

I'd say Ps. cyanescens.

That's what I thought they were, but, I'm no expert, by a long shot, lol...
Thank you for your help...
Anyone else have any opinions on these? (Yes ik, I need to get some better pictures)

If your description is quite accurate then they are probably P. stuntzii, but those pictures are not helping much.
In any event, they are a blueing, woodloving Psilocybe. There are a couple other less likely possibilities, but those too are blueing, woodloving Psilocybes.

Attn PWN hunters: If you should come across a bluing Psilocybe matching P. pellicolusa please smell it. If you detect a scent reminiscent of Anethole (anise) please preserve a specimen or two for study and please PM me.

They look like an active Psilocybe. You are not gonna get any better than that without better pics. Just inspect every mushroom for bruising and toss out any that don't blue. Take a sample dose first to see what they are made of then dive in.

At this point, I'm thinking, grab a few more fresh samples, re-print it just in-case I somehow fucked the first one up (idk how I would have), and then possibly have a good time (still haven't eaten any, won't til I'm absolutely positive what they are)
So, I'm assuming (and anyone, correct me if I'm wrong, please) I can safely rule out galerinas, because the purple/brown print, and not a yellow/orange to light/rusty brown one, and the fact that it stains blue?
edit: also, no annulus on any of the these, from pins to adults (although I've read a lot that they can fall/come off)

Yep. If you're sure about the purple-brown and you're sure about the blue then figuring out which species is just a technicallity for all of us who are interested, and possibly for estimating potency vaguely.

Then P. cyanescens is the more likely.
