Very very Southeast ID

Species #1
Habitat: Farm land, cattle present, moist ground, 4"-12" grass and weeds, little standing water, pretty much all in direct sunlight
Gills: gills look tanish and the inside of them looks dark blue (maybe?)
Stem: stem is white/tanish
Cap: light tan, dark blue purplish, gold - the largest caps are ~4", the medium caps are ~2"
Bruising: dark blue or purplish
General location: Very, Very, Southeast US
Picked today, was raining yesterday a little bit, has been very humid, was about 90*f today
Picked and placed in plastic grocery bag, then placed in ziploc bag and put in fridge.
Looking for ID, tips on handling (have been careful, tried to be gentle), and how badly would drying them in the trunk impact their potency? It's about 90*f outside now.
Thank you for your help, I will answer any questions and can provide better images if needed

Thank you for the ID! The one on the far left, the dry very dark one, do you recommend disposing of it or is it consumable?
Thank you again for your help!!

If you leave them in a ziploc in the fridge they will turn to mush in a day or two. You need to dry them by laying them on paper in a well ventilated area, or a food dehydrator is best. Always use paper bags when hunting or the moisture will be trapped and your mushies will get mushy

Thank you for the handling and storage tips, moving them to a paper bag now. I read one method is to dry them in the trunk of a car, will this significantly impact their potency?
I'd love to eat them now, but I'm waiting to enjoy them with my SO. I'm thinking of making chocolate with the dried powder into edibles..

I did. I ended up placing them in a paper bag, with a couple dozen small holes on either side, taped to an air purifier in fan mode set to high, in the closet.
