Habitat: Where does it grow? Eg. woods, pasture, state, province, country, altitude, etc. What does it grow on? Eg. soil, dung, wood (dead, living, what kind of wood?), etc.
Growing in a very public and suburban Sydney mulch bed with a single tree in the middle. Semi shaded and a permanent sprinkler system for the bed. No other mushroom species growing in the same mulch bed that I could see.
Gills: Color, attached/not, gills/pores, etc.
As you can see below, the gills are normally brown-beige, however some are too old to identify the color clearly.
Stem: Length, diameter, color, texture, hollow/solid, thin/thick, etc.
Whitish stem with blue tinges, brown and no empty column when broken.
Cap: Diameter, color, texture, conical/spherical, convex/concave, etc.
Some are golden/caramel brown as can be seen, however some have aged a little too much to retail all of their original color.
Spore print color: Very important!
Pending, will have it in the morning. Some may be too old to print however a couple of the fresher ones are looking for hopeful.
Bruising: Color that the mushroom bruises, if any.
The fresher mushrooms were bruising blue however the older ones were a little dry when I picked them and didn't bruise as easily.
Other information: Scent of the mushroom, anything else you think is important, large close-up pictures showing stem, cap and gills.
The scent is very familiar I should say

It's hard to see the color of the bruising in the second, third and fourth pics; but they all look like Psilocybe subaeruginosa. Toss any that don't show the blue bruising reaction the ones in the first photo show.

They have started to blue quite heavily where I cut the stems off the cap on most of you can see there. Tomorrow morning I'll have a little look at the spore print

I see blue bruising on all of those, but taking a spore print never hurt anyone

Sometimes that blueing can take a good few hours to come out properly. A couple times I've been really weary of one or two, then the next day after I've spore printed overnight the whole thing has gone almost black.
