This is definitely strange and intriguing.
Good find Brad. I can't wait to see where this goes.

They usually seem paler and less colored in the cold around here. less bugs to molest them.

this post reminds me of a Psathyrella sp. I found earlier this year that had been next to an area that was sprayed with Round-up and the indicator dye had stained parts of the mushrooms blue/green. that's what it looks like to me. but what do I know?
here are the round up stained Psathyrella

It does look like that color. I found some roundup sprayed Galerinas in wood chip landscaping that looked active as hell.

I agree that the stains look similar. It now remains to be known if OP's find is from an area likely to be sprayed.

I hope im wrong. Its a huge let down when you think you've found a really cool active, then realize that its not and the bruising is actually poison. It's one more reason to not like Round Up.

Insofar as I know Roundup isn't toxic to humans, it causes the cessation of photosynthesis which doesn't effect humans because we don't have much chlorophyll. I wouldn't drink it though. If it were weed-spray why would the majority of it be on the gills of the mushrooms?

I did not keep them actually but I do know where the log is that had fruited them. The bruising was an aqua marine like color, not the typical psilocybin oxidation color. At the time I was with a woman friend on a date and I didn't have the time to really document them as if I were alone.
I will make sure and check that log now and again. I don't think it was yard chemicals, the area just didn't make sense for somebody to spray. Also, after a day or two they turn more blue like a psilocybe does.
I'm still a new to having this hobby on this level, next time I will be more diligent with strange finds.

Just keep an eye on it man. It's hard to go for a hike with someone else. they just don't get that each pic takes at least 5 minutes, and the lot of them can't entertain themselves for more than 1 or 2 minutes while you document.
But anyway the yard chems is what I was wondering about. It still looks remarkably like M. haematopus to me, but given the lack of spray, it's anyones guess. Just save the next batch. Hopefully, I'll have a scope soon and can get samples of this. But that may not be till next season.

I've had quite a bit of experience with Triclopyr, Glyphosate and Imazapyr managing invasive species. They each have different levels of toxicity for humans, but they all can cause some serious damage. It's also not the chemicals themselves thats responsible for the color, but the indicator additive/dye (oil or water based). Blue is often used, but red is also popular (or both together!)
Not entirely sold on the theory that these have herbecides on them.

I have to say that if I were the one spraying weeds and saw some mushrooms... I'd spray the shit out of them too.

I asked a PNW Mycena expert about this thread and he said:
Hi Alan,
I'm pretty sure it's M. haematopus, but have no idea where the blue might be coming from.

It could be spray then but, whoever was spraying weeds that day was way off course and probably smoking meth. In my town It would not surprise me. Thanks Alan.
