Looking for ID on these shrooms found in Victoria, Australia

Hello there:
I found these guys on the weekend in Otway region, Victoria. They bruised very dark blue, virtually black, when handled and I suspect they are Psilocybe subaeruginosa. I wanted to confer with an expert before consuming, as I may be wrong. This is my first post and first attempt at finding wild magic mushrooms.
 Habitat: Wood - Eucalyptus forest
Gills: Dark brown
Stem: Whitish, pretty fragile, slightly enlarged at base
Cap: Brown to golden
Spore print color: Very dark purple. Close to black
Bruising: Colour change after handling. Dark blue/black
Location: Victoria, Australia
Pic is of dried shrooms. Unfortunately I didn't have phone/camera handy when I discovered them in the wild.
I found several other mushrooms out there but suspect they were Galerina or something else as there was no bruising on stem or cap, and they were more orangey than these guys.
Expert opinion would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks. Jim.

They look like subs to me. Next time bring scissors or knife to cut stems.

You should always take pictures of the mushrooms when they are still fresh. Possibly a Psilocybe, but not easy to tell from the state they're in here. If the spore prints were almost black as you describe them, chances are you found a Psathyrella sp. or perhaps a Hypholoma sp.
