Psilocybe azurescens ?

Found these on the Oregon coast. In dune grass in a cluster near shore pine. Mycelium, bright white and held strong to it's medium, strong in structure and leaping from the base of the mushroom. Mycelium stained blue after bruising. Edge of the cap was white before touching it on many samples. Smells to me what I call "average mushroom smell." Hollow stem when mature.
Currently taking a spore print.
Along with confirmation or rejection of identification, I am curious about other look a likes so that I can learn their identifiers as well. Poisonous and/or otherwise.

if it does turn out to be azures you could make prints for trade.

Sweet! That's what I thought. We heard they were growing and went out looking specifically for them. I'm curious about any potential look a likes so that I can identify them as well.
Are there any mushrooms that blue so quickly that are poisonous?
As far as I know Galerina autumnalis grows in the same environment as psilocybe cyanescens, right? Obviously I need to pay attention to that. Is there anything else of note?

I'm taking spore prints on 11 different microscope slides. Going to place another slide on top and tape it shut. Would that be good enough for trading? Some of the slides would have half a caps worth of spores for the print since some caps were larger and others would have a whole small caps worth.
[EDIT] Also I'm curious, I have a dehumidifier. My friend heard that you lose a lot/all of the potency of these if you dehydrate them. Is that true?

No, print each cap on an individual square of foil. Also, no, they do not loose a lot/all of their potency when dried. You're friend is wrong. I recommend investing in a dehydrator to dry them if you do not already have one.

Sweet and sweet. I'll move them over to foil immediately. Is there a link for proper technique?

Step 1) Use scissors to cut squares of aluminium foil Step 2) Remove the stipe (stem) of the mushrooms from the caps and place the caps on the squares of foil, one square of foil to one cap. Wait 24hours and then proceed to remove the caps from the squares of foil, there should be a sporeprint on the foil. Would you like pictures with that?

no point being careful with cleanliness when the print is already wild

Wow u guys are fast .. heres my 2 cents
Cut up foil in squairs bigger than the cap then after they drop you can fold em up and keep em safe. I do mine in a glass tray so I can cover it with plastic to keep the caps moist while they drop. And i leave em for 24 hrs if I can.
here's a pic of mi Cyans
 
EDIT: I hear ya on the prints As for look alikes sorry I cant help there but a trick for me is - when in doubt throw it Out! You know what they look like now that you have them that's a Great lesson

Awesome, spore prints will be safe and maybe up for trade in the future. Need to get to know the community first...
Curious about my other question, what are the look a likes to psilocybe azurescens?

Also, only pick fully mature mushrooms mate.

Sometimes galerinas grow side by side with active species, you would have to be an idiot to get them confused, but they are considered a lookalike.

No fucking shit, Sherlock.
How about reading whole thread before opening you're mouth mate...
OP was asking about lookalikes.

No worries mate, granted I should have quoted his question in my post, but still, you got to read the whole thread before commenting.

Hey now, no need to get into imaginary arguments over the internet . We all know we can't read enunciation, so best pretend everyone means well with their comments.
(As an aside how may grams of galerina would be fatal?)
EDIT: Quantity
