Psilocybe subaeruginosa is very likely Just make sure that they all bruise a very distinct blue. Because your photos are a tiny bit blurry, it might be a good idea to wait for a TI to give the OK.
Also, next time you go picking, try to cut the mushrooms off at the base of the stem, or very carefully pull them out of the patch without disturbing the substrate. When you remove the substrate along with the mushroom, you harm the patch, which makes it less likely to flush again or to fruit in later seasons.

Ok yes thanks. And will try to get confirmation from a TI and be more careful on my picking. Will that clump be able to fruit if I transplant it on a suitable mulch in the area?

Nah, it would be very unlikely to fruit this season. You could definitely colonise new mulch with that clump though, and when the next season rolls around you might have a new patch. There's lots of information on this website on how to start new patches.

^^^What Matai said. He's pretty much a sub TI, we just don't have species specific badges.

Bout a gram if lucky. Only just enough for one and maybe not even enough for that.
