Sorry I meant to be more accurate in my question and failed. I edited my post to reflect this.
As an aside how may grams of galerina would be fatal?
Or if a better measure, how many caps?
[EDIT] Also I need to rephrase my question, lets imagine these aren't Psilocybe Azurescens. What would it be? What are the most similar look a likes? I need to learn so I ever need to ask this question again. So far I have one person telling me it is indeed Azurescens and one "Trusted Identifier" ... I personally would like to have the knowledge to be able to decide this for myself.

It makes me a bit uncomfortable that you feel the need to ask this question..

I don't think you're going about this in a very good way. It's not a very bright idea to try and learn how to identify a bunch of 'lookalikes' so that you can avoid them. Instead, just learn the characteristics of Psilocybe azurescens itself. It's very easy, no other mushroom (that isn't in the genus Psilocybe) looks much like them and the bruising is a dead giveaway. Look through some recent and old threads of people in your area finding these mushrooms or just spend a couple hours staring at Google images. I'm sure you can learn to positively identify this one species of mushroom. Keep posting ID requests until you feel you've got the hang of it completely.

We don't know exactly how many grams of poisonous galerina species mushrooms will be fatal. There is no magic number as to how many grams of poisonous galerina species will kill you man...
Keep asking for ID requests until you know you're shit, simple as that. Once you know, you will know, you know.
No one is going to tell you the most similar look alike to Psilocybe azurescens. It doesn't work like that, you quite clearly have Psilocybe azurescens we're not going to pretend it's something else, it's like looking at an apple tree and asking "I'm not sure this is an apple tree, what species resembles apple trees the most" when it's obviously an apple tree.

HWAP, this is the second time we have had practically the same response in different wording, at the same time, first time being about hygrophanous caps.

Prehaps, but the other points that you brought up I was actually thinking but too out of it to bother typing out.
Like the fact that the species that resemble Psilocybe azurescens the most are other species in the Psilocybe genus, for example, Psilocybe subaeruginosa, Psilocybe allenii and Psilocybe cyanescens

Ubi my friend, Psilocybe subaeruginosa look quite simalar to Psilocybe azurescens, here is one of my pictures of Psilocybe subaeruginosa from 2014. But you wont be finding Psilocybe subaeruginosa in Oregon.

I was joking. Good to see we're on the same page with these topics.

I think both of you're responses are quite appropriate...
I'm concerned with look a likes because I don't trust people over the internet. I don't trust pictues when I'm identifying them for others. I don't think anyone should say "this is this mushroom." I think it's best to say "compare to this mushroom" I want to know the look a likes so I can mentally go "This doesn't have these characteristics so I'm confident I can give these to my friends."
I won't lie, I'm a mushroom amateur, I'm taking a stupid cautious approach to mushrooms identification. I don't want to hurt myself or anyone else.

Here is another picture of my Psilocybe subaeruginosa for you Ubi

Psilocybe subaeruginosa is a species that looks similar to Psilocybe azurescens but like I said, you will not find it where you live!

We know you're a noob, it's really obvious. I can tell you are a noob with common sense. But, you're still, a noob none the less.
You need to understand that I can safely say by looking at a picture of a mushroom that this mushrooms IS this mushroom, I will not say, "compare this mushroom to this mushroom" because I'll bet my left nut that I can 100% positively identify Psilocybe azurescens, don't believe me? I'll tell you exactly why.
The community at shroomey are not here to poison you, this is a harm reduction forum. We positively identify mushrooms.

What does this even mean? Just because you can ID a few active woodlovers doesn't mean you get to be a TI.
Ubi, if you don't trust people over the internet then I don't know what you're doing here. What I'm saying is that you can be just as confident in your identification (in fact, more confident) by learning all the characteristics of the species you're trying to find, and then applying these to the mushrooms you find. I don't need to tick a checkbox of species that my mushrooms are not in order to say they are what they are. You shouldn't identify mushrooms by process of elimination. There are hundreds of mushrooms that could be considered lookalikes, learning the characteristics of each one is a much less efficient way of IDing your finds.

Why don't you instead do it by saying this mushroom does have the characteristics of the species I am looking for (which are exclusive to your species/genus, such as bruising) so you can be confident that way? I'm not going to go through a list of species that I consider lookalikes because that would be a waste of time and the matter is pretty subjective. I completely understand that you want to be extremely cautious but I'm telling from someone with experience that this is the best way to do it. If you won't budge then honestly the only genus I would be all that worried about is Galerina, like Ghost said. They're really the main dangerous genus that might resemble azures and grow in a similar habitat.

The fact that you called this a "harm reduction forum" makes me so happy.
I'm not worried that you'll intentionally mis-identify what I'm posting and poison me. I just want to learn what I can so that I will be able to help others in the future. Me asking you what "the closest possible dangerous mushroom looks like" is just me doing my own safety precaution thing.
I gotta crash, I think we're all talking similar points. Be back in the morning

I can identify allot more than a few active woodlovers. I should be a TI no doubt, nominate me!

Ubi, It's a simple as this.
Can you identify an apple? a banana? an orange? perhaps you can identify a fejoa?
Same concept to me with mushrooms identification. You don't take a picture of a banana and say "compare this to banana"
me when you wake up, I will teach you and answer any questions that you have

What if you take a picture of a plantain, and say compare this to banana?
There are many things that look similar but aren't the same. Op good job with the find and post. It's a great idea to learn more about what your looking for and what to avoid.
Keep up the good work and don't lose your inquisitive nature, cause someone else thinks it's not important, only you can decide what you're gonna learn and how to use it.
