ID Request: Found a new patch Melbourne East

Habitat: Found these guys growing amongst pine needles, dried up leaves and twigs.
 Gills: Ranging from smokey yellow, cream to purpleish black.
Stem: Mostly white with a woody texture. The older ones seem to have a brown/orange on the inside (see macro shot) that makes me a bit wary.
Cap: The fresher ones are brown with some darker discoloration, the older ones have gone a pale brown to yellow, the really old ones have a lot of black on them. SOme have a white line around the edge of the cap/brim.







 Spore print color: Dark purple - All except #12 made a spore print, should I discard #12?

Bruising: Varies from very subtle bluing to full blown black.
Other information: I'm quite certain most of these are subs, there are a couple I'm a bit suspicious of due to the following: Orange inside of some stems eg: # 11, 14, 22, 42, 55 And wondering if these older ones would still be safe to consume: # 1, 3, 4, 9, 13, 20, 29, 30, 31, 37, 40

Thanks Kactus. I'll wait for a few TIs to post as well. What do you reckon of those old blackened ones? Still good?

Updated spore print pics: All spore prints are dark purple. #12 didn't make a spore print, maybe too old, should I discard it?

#12 looks fine to me and all the rest are P. subaeruginosa as well.

Lol hardmage, I should have given some perspective in the photo, the largest caps are about the diameter/girth of a kiwifruit, so not as huge as they may appear.
Thank you tane mahnta for the confirmation

Look I'm way beyond being able to concentrate of 155 specimens. Though the first two pictures are P.Subs (1-11.) IF the rest are the same, you're good to go.
Upon a brief look they all look fine but make sure they're all the same. congratulations.
I appreciate people who put in lots of effort and time into hunting. You did, so good work! It pays off.

Thanks Jay, yeah I know it's a lot to scrutinise every single specimen, if there's a better way to post and ID I'm certainly all ears, always looking to improve and make it easier. Just want to be as thorough as possible so I can be safe and learn as much as I can.
They're all brown cap, white stem, blue bruising, purple spore print. Some are just a lot older than others, and I found maggots in a couple of the stems, needless to say I chucked those ones out.
Btw, very nice haul to you as well today
