Hello folks
I went for a nice motorcycle ride to a natural park in Victoria (Melbourne reigon) and when I searched the ground amongst the woodchips in which some plants had been planted I found these mushrooms. It is early in the season and hasn´t been rainy so to me these look like the first flushes coming up. A lot of young ones I left behind and there werer barely any too old ones and just a few fully mature ones. Mostly young gold brownish colour, really small ones being darker brown and darker again when older. Take a a look at the explanation and pictures and tell me what you think.
Note. What first pointed me to think these might contain magic was the slight blue bruising in some mushrooms. I squashed a few stems to see if they bruise blue but they really didnt too much. Some blueing around the cap in some mushrooms and on the root end.
Habitat:
Grows on woodchippy patch of plants (Eucalyptus, bushes and grass) moist cool autumn day.
Gills:
Light tan to dark brown colour. Darker in older mushrooms.
Stem: Length 3-7cm, about 0.5-1.0 cm in diameter sturdy build.
Color light to light grey, solid stems, looks relativly sturdy to the lenght of the mushrooms to me. Doesn´t break that easily. Not hollow.
Cap:
Diameter from 1 to 5 cm, color ligh brown / gold few yellow ones. Caps have darkened since drying overnighy. texture is not too slimy but the weather was not rainy. Bit of a waxy feeling to them. conical shape, from round young ones to pointy older ones all the way to flat shape. Manily about 3 cm in diameter when fully opened to flat. Few bigger ones with gills peaking upwards rather than straight or down. I put it down to being older specime.
Spore print color:
I am taking a sporeprint over tonight. I will let you know what the colour is.
Bruising:
Some blue bruising but was not evident in all the shrooms I tried ti squize. Some older blue bruise marks. Some blue around the cap and in the root system at places.
And now to the pictures

purple-black spore print you should be looking for i think
also i think you have some subs there just double check blue bruising on each one to be safe

More like purple-brown. They are all subs.

Active subs.
Avoid ripping the mycelium (root system) out of the ground next time you pick by using scissors if you want the patch to yield more flushes in future. Otherwise you can kill a patch 
Cool finds though!

Thank you guys for the fast and exact replys. I am happy for my find I am definite they all are of the same species.
What comes to the root systems ripping out I tried to be as careful as practical but some of the mycelia came off from the loose wood chips just by tugging them a bit. I am aware that one should be careful with the mycelium.
Cool I think I will go camping to the spot and have some mushrooms when an opportunuty rises. Forests are the best for tripping imho.
Keep hunting

A pair of scissors or a knife to cut the stem at the base is all you need to eliminate that issue.
I hope you enjoy the experience
