I.D Request please - Melbourne South Hunting

They all have seemingly white stems, hollow, some blue bruising on a few..
I know these are likely sub's but can an experienced member please look for any signs of a galerina in the bunch?
Also, the small ones that accompanied the larger ones which I was unable to save, are these potent? should I eat or throw them? I hate wasting gods best creation.

I also have a few questions, I've tried to find the answers without successful findings.
So will these subs in my area stop growing immediately when August begins? I need to stockpile every single patch I find now because if I have to wait a year i'll cry.
Also is there anything wrong with my process:
Picked, tops off and straight onto paper for spore printing after pictures.
Waiting 1 night (i sleep on it) before checking spores and beginning drying process at 60 degrees in the oven for 8 hours on fan forced.
For each minute they are exposed to oxygen after being picked are they losing potency?
And finally, can I spore print in a sealed container or does it need a tiny percentage of oxygen to drop the most spores? I currently use a half container flipped upside down on a tray with weights ontop..
T.I please correct my methods, i'm 100% sure I lose huge amounts of potency in the spore printing and drying stages.

I need to stockpile every single patch I find now because if I have to wait a year i'll cry. --- They like cold weather, so as soon as it gets hot, they would probably stop, my sub patch comes back every winter because I harvested them right (not ripping out the base but rather cutting them with scissors)
Also is there anything wrong with my process:
Picked, tops off and straight onto paper for spore printing after pictures.
Waiting 1 night (i sleep on it) before checking spores and beginning drying process at 60 degrees in the oven for 8 hours on fan forced. --- Have to get a TI for this, I don't know about drying using ovens, all I do is fan dry over 24 hours then desiccant chamber.
For each minute they are exposed to oxygen after being picked are they losing potency? --- no
And finally, can I spore print in a sealed container or does it need a tiny percentage of oxygen to drop the most spores? I currently use a half container flipped upside down on a tray with weights ontop.. just put it on paper..?

You arent losing as much as you sound like you think you are.

Well, don't put them in the oven, instead put them in front of a fan, I haven't dried shrooms before, I always eat them raw, just don't put them in the oven

in front of a fan for 2 days they should be almost dry, then in a container with damp rid or sillica. works fine for me

if your oven goes low enough and is fan forced there is nothing wrong with drying them in the oven, many people been doing so without any negative side effects like potency drop that would be noticeable and it will dry them fast so lot shorter exposure to light and air so if anything, oven is your friend as low heat isn't damaging as much as uv exposure and oxidation.
and for the love of god, don't keep the oven door open, this keeps triggering heating element a lot more and possibly creating hot spots (just keep them on middle tray, best on baking paper) anyone that bakes will tell you that fan forced ovens dry out bread way too quick preventing good oven spring, this is with door closed and very high hydration breads as well, people open the door every few minutes and spray water to increase the super low humidity levels, i would go as far as saying that desert air is very humid compared to your fan forced oven
