I am pretty sure i know what these are but as im new to this it would be good to get a positive ID from someone with experience. Any assistance would be very much appreciated.
Habitat: Canberra Australia, suburban park, underneath a few native bushes and ground cover plants, growing from soil which contains woodchips and other leafy organic matter. Altitude around 600m. A week after significant rainfall in June.
Gills: Light brown - darkening with age, adnexed
Stem: Ranging from 40mm - 100mm in length, 5mm diameter, white with dark blue bruising, smooth texture, striations, quite sturdy - didnt break off from cap easily.
Cap: Ranging from 30mm to 60mm in diameter, toffee golden brown - older ones going dark brown/blue, conical/umbonate, striations more evident around edges, dark blue bruising.
Spore print color: Dark purple/brown.
Bruising: Dark blue. Took about 20 mins to show up when i squeezed a very white stem.

Some funky looking subs there make sure they all bruise blue and drop the same prints cause there is a few iffy ones in there. Wait for a ti for confirmation.

Look like Psilocybe subaeruginosa to me. Admittedly some very strange looking ones - the cluster in the third photo looks downright strange (although definitely active.)
Just make sure that each and every one bruises blue. If there are any you're unsure about, post individual photos. The only one that looks like it might need a pause for thought is the mushroom on the far right, second-topmost. It's got a very light-coloured cap. Is there bruising in that kink on the stipe?

Thanks for the ID and info everyone. Much appreciated! Ill make sure each one bruises blue and has the dark brown/purple spore print when ID-ing Psilocybe Subaeruginosa.
