Canberra region ID request - more subs

More more subs from canberra. A confirmation would be great.
One thing I have noticed is that in the canberra region there appear to be two distinct varieties, one with light tan tops and ones with redder ones. Or is this due to environmental conditions?

Here are some previous finds with redder tops:

the colour of the caps is due to how dry the mushrooms are. The wetter they are the more caramel/brown it should be - so yes, environmental conditions.
If you want an accurate ID from me, follow this template http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/5731447
Having that said, they look like subs. Check for individual blue bruising on each specimen.
spore print should be purple with a distince farinaceous smell. Was the habitat wood chip?

They all look like Psilocybe subaeruginosa. I remember one finding a very exposed cluster where the caps were completely white. it was only because of the stems could identify them.
Double check each specimen for blue bruising.

thanks, thats really interesting.
I have read elsewhere (maybe on forums here, but cant find it at the moment) some claiming there were a couple of different types of subs in the Canberra region. But that may have been complete balonium.

Yeah, I was reading about something similar in Aus. Google Psilocybe tasmaniana. I think some Aussie psilocybe with a name related to eucalyptus trees is also similar but don't quote me on that, I'm not from Aussie.

long story short, Psilocybe australiana, P. eucalypta, and P. tasmaniana were all placed in the same species P. subaeruginosa.
there are arguments for and against it.
but P. subaeruginsa has a seriously massive phenotypic range under current classification.
i will assume in time genetics will be analysed and they will be reclassfied.
