Is this Ps. cyanescens?

Yesterday I made my first-ever find... not counting the tiny patch in my backyard that slugs ruined. Feeling more confident about this find than I am about that one (despite the response), but I'm too new to just trust without asking. So... am I right?
Once again my photography capacity is very limited, so my apologies.
* Habitat: Growing in 2 - 3 year old woodchip mulch, scattered here and there among weeds, beneath shrubbery along the northern margin of a planted area, well shaded by nearby Doug firs and other ornamental trees I can't identify * Location: A public park in the north Seattle area * Gills: a darker, grayer shade of the cap color * Stem: white, 2 - 4 mm x 3 - 6 cm * Spore print color: dark peuce/brown (less clearly purple than my backyard find) * Scent of the mushroom: vaguely floury * Bruise color: clear obvious blue to blue-gray, especially on stipe * Other: young pins had cobwebby partial veils; damp cap surfaces slimy to the touch
* Even more suggestive: Not only did the patch seem already picked-over, but between finding these and coming back after dark to collect them (there were too many people the first time), the two mushrooms I hadn't hidden under leaves had vanished, leaving intact mycelium below. I can only assume someone got them. If that someone is you, and it's your carefully-nurtured patch I've raided: my apologies! I took the six most mature of what remained, and left 10+ pins.

Thank you for your help!

Yes, cyans. They can get bigger if left to grow for another week
-------------------- Stop experimenting half way through your first grow. Grow it to maturity, watch it, learn from it. Do this a few times then experiment with different ideas and figure out what works best for you.

No doubt. But since someone else seems to check the spot, there aren't many, and I have essentially nothing else...
But in any case, thank you!
