First Tip-Toes into the Mushroom Hunting Hobby

Looking to identify these mushrooms. Psilocybe genus I believe - currently working to better distinguish common hallucinogenic Psilocybes from dangerous look-alikes (specifically G. autumnalis, G. marginata and G. veneata.) Fortunately the bluing on these specimens seems pretty profound and I don't think you'd be able to characterize the spore print as anything a Galerina could produce (absolutely not rusty brown). Curious to hear what the community has to say.
Habitat: Wood chips or mulch of Seattle's Arboretum (park). It's late October in the midst of a very wet and windy rainstorm weekend.


Gills: grayish gills, not attached I'm guessing (meaning it is either free, adnexed, or sinuated right?), spore print looks a bit purplish.
Stem: green/blue stained even in the field and bruising blue(looks blue to me), stipe looks fibrous to me, hollow, moderately thick, etc.
Cap: Diameter, caramel, viscid when wet, because they're young they have conical caps, convex.
Spore print color: Looks purplish to me...
Bruising: Seems to bruise blue, even alittle green on the cap where I stabbed at it alittle.
Other information: Scent of the mushroom, anything else you think is important, large close-up pictures showing stem, cap and gills.

Gallerinas spore prints are orangish. Stems are different.

Why would you say cyanescens and not stunzii or baeocystis?
Is it because baeocystis would be more grey/olive?
Is it that cyanescens always have a bare stipe where as you may see an annulous on a stunzii. Do baeocystis or cyanescens ever have an annulous?
PS, BTW: I love your two funny pictures AstaCrazyBull.

Thanks. Seams like the stalks are a bit thick for cyan. Wait for a TI. Welcome to Shroomery.

Your mushrooms are immature, next time let them grow and the caps will appear much wavier and textbooky.

Arboretum has a few patches throughout. Still probably safer to not name locations. Nice finds on those cyans though.
