Rainforest ID request

Habitat: Growing I'm Costa Rica in primary rainforest about 3500 in elevation in a home pasture, appears to be growing on horse manure
Gills: the gills are a ran greyish to brownish, and are attached
Stem: A couple to a few inches, around a half an inch thick, hollow, tanish, younger are fragile, older appearing more durable. It has a black veil, sometime stuck flat onto the stem
Cap: The cap is around 2-3 inches, sunbursting from and orangish brownish in center to a yellow/tanish on the outside. It is smooth and somewhat slimy, sometimes with a nipple
Spore print color: the spore print is in between a deep purple, blackish
Bruising: this is where I need the most assistance. I found one mushroom in Nicaragua, white, and it was a clear, bright blue. These mushrooms bruise a bluish, but almost nearer to a black, not as definitive of a blue as the white mushroom. does cubensis have lookalikes with all of these characteristics that bruise a blackish (maybe blue)?
Other information: Mushroom smells mushroomy (not much description here). Clearly a new hunter and have yet to have any of such experiences but am hoping, if it is right to partake here. With researching (mainly from shroomery for a couple months) I want to be in a clear mind with the decision. Being a new member, although I have many great pictures, it doesn't seem I can upload them.

What you are describing sounds a little like Cubensis. But then again there are a few Psilocybes with veils. Any pics?

To me that looks like cubensis! Wait for a trusted identifiers opinion.

Now once again, what is particularly in question for me is the bruising. It is definitely bruising, but it is mild, and blackish, somewhat bluish, but that seems as a result of the tanish stem and cap. Thanks to anyone with assistance.

They are Psilocybe cubensis. Yes, that's blue bruising. It's not a vivid blue because the colour is mixed with the colour of the mushrooms.
