Hello. I'm a first time poster, and have no experience with picking and identifying mushrooms. I have become quite interested in mushrooms and have been reading up a lot on these forums and elsewhere, and found some mushrooms that I think might be psilocybe subaeruginosa. Could an expert please verify this for me?
Photos in habitat:







Photos after being freshly picked:



And photos after drying in a cupboard overnight, plus spore print:



Habitat: The mushrooms were found on the edge of a bush which has both eucalyptus and pine trees. There was one patch which seemed to be growing out of soil/rotting wood on the ground, and another patch which was growing directly out of what looked like the root of a paperbark tree.
Gills: The smaller mushrooms had cream-coloured gills, which seemed to get a bit darker with older specimens. The gills of some of the mushrooms appeared quite yellow which isn't really apparent in the pictures.
Stem: The stem was white in younger mushrooms, getting darker with age (especially along the base). They were relatively thick, hollow, and quite fibrous in texture. No rings.
Cap: The caps were relatively small, no larger than ~6 cm. The younger mushrooms were a brown colour, which gradually lightens to a caramel-brown colour with white around the margin of most of them.
Spore print color: Purple-brown.
Bruising: I did not notice any bruising on either the stems or caps.
I was concerned because I didn't see any blue bruising, which made me doubt that these are subs. However the rest of the features, as well as the spore print seem to indicate subs to me. If anyone could tell me what they are for sure, I would be very grateful, thanks!

I would say not active as stem is to yellow but get a T.I to double check as I'm not 100% sure on Aussie mushrooms

I think they're Hypholoma sublateritium.
