Psilocybe allenii vs galerina marginata

Habitat: Wood chips, sea level, San Francisco Bay Area, and it is mid November. Gills: Color was a tan, black around the edges. Spore prints were a purple, grey color. They were atached to the stem.
Stem: White, about 2 inches in length, unknown diameter pretty thin.
Cap: Convex. Tan with turquoise blue staining. Smooth slippery when wet.
Spore print color: Dark Grey, purple
Bruising: I don't know if it was bruising, but there were turquoise blue hues on the cap.
Other information: The scent was the classic mushroom scent that most people associate with mushrooms. They were rather small and there were 6 or 7 of them. They look like P. Allenii to me but the only thing that wasn't P. Allenii about them was that they were slippery when wet. That makes it seem like a gallerina marginata. I put some spores on som wood chips in my yard. How long would a P. Allenii take to grow and how long would a g. Marginata take to grow.

Stem butts work very well for propagation. But without pictures its hard too tell what you found..
If its blue , don't take that as the only sign its active , its one , but I've seen brown mushrooms with greenish mold and confused it for a cyan.
Allenii stems are very fibrous and difficult to pull without raping the earth and pulling mycelium and woodchips so we use scissors when they're available .. Gallerinas usually come up with less pulling plus they arent as strong or meaty as cyans or Allenii.
Cyan pins different in appearance from gallerinas

Welcome. You'll need to post some photos for proper identification.

These are Psilocybe allenii.
Galerina marginata is rare in wood chips in the bay area.
