Can you please ID these mushrooms?

My mate and I found a group of around 20-30 mushrooms in the Dandenong Ranges near Melbourne, Australia. Usually Psilocybe subaeruginosa grows in this area but these seem a little different.
Habitat: Growing next to a decaying log. Grassy area with leaf/bark litter.
Gills: Dark brown, hard to say if they are free vs adnexed vs emarginate
Stem: 1-2 inch (approx), orange-brown (not as white as previous P subaeruginosa I have seen), woody/fibrous texture with small hollow core
Cap: 1 inch (approx) (seem a little bigger than your average P subaeruginosa), brown, friable, flat topped with little dimple in middle
Spore print color: Pending
Bruising: Blue-tinged near the top of the stem but not as obvious as other P. subaeruginosa I have picked
Other information: They seem more waterlogged and friable than P. subaeruginosa I have picked in the past and I am wondering if that's why it is harder for me to ID. The stems seem less white and more orange/brown and the blue bruising is not as striking - there is a blue tinge at the top of the stem and the caps seem to have a dark blue tinge when bruised but the main part of the stem remains orangey-brown.

they are either heavily water logged Hypholoma sp. or Psilocybe subaeruginosa
the green colour from that first pic makes me think Hypholoma sp.
but i know subs can look just like the examples in the other pics when they are heavily waterlogged.
your pics are too small, can you upload larger pics.
and may i ask, why the poll??

cheers for the reply obtuse, here are some bigger pics:




Are the main distinctions between Hypholoma sp. or Psilocybe subaeruginosa that Hyphloma has more of an orange stem and doesn't bruise blue?
I'm tempted to go back to this patch in a few days once it dries out a bit.
As for the poll, I just thought it was a good idea.
