Possible psilocybin subaeruginosa? ID please

Habitat: Psilocybe subaeruginosa grows solitary to gregarious from wood such as wood chips in urban areas, pine tree plantations and woody debris in forests and gardens. It is common in southern parts of Australia and New Zealand from April to August. - from Wiki page, in my case was found in bush (aussie forest) under a eucalyptus tree in the central goldfields region of Victoria.
Gills: A chocolate colour to a dark brown, kind of orange in some mushrooms.
Stem: Ranges from 2mm to 10mm in thickness, on average maybe an inch long, off white to pale white colour, some twist. Lots of the stems are split, and some have orangie marks that are kind of translucent on the stem.
Cap: Gold to brown, lots of different shaped
Spore print color: Browny purple, mostly brown
Bruising: Very hard to notice, bruises kind of a grey ish colour, very hard to tell though.
Other information: I am extremely new to this, so hopefully I've included enough information, i intend to eat them if they are indeed psychedelic and non poisonous.






Very sorry about the quality of the photos, let me know if i can give any additional information to assist with the identification of these mushrooms. Last thing i want to do is eat these expecting a trip and ending up dead.

Yeah a couple of things. Subs will bruise blue when cut, also the spore print is darker. Id call the spore print you have more brown than anything. I know these mushrooms you have picked, although i dont know name, and they do also grow in similar locations as subs but once you find a few subs the difference is obvious. Keep at it, although the season is definitely closing

Your specimens are Leratiomyces ceres, not Psilocybe subaeruginosa, do not eat them.
Leratiomyces ceres are mildly toxic, they would not kill you, but they will give you the shits and make you throw up.
My mate showed me a bag of dry Leratiomyces ceres one time, said someone had sold him fake shrooms that made everyone throw up.
I said no shit, those are mildly toxic, and I also said I would love to slap the bastard who sold them to him if I ever so happened to encounter him.
It's a no go with those ones mate.

Thanks man, you're a saint.
You saved my ass, literally.
When looking for gold caps, am i looking for essentially the same mushies, but with a less chalky stem and more waxy looking caps?

No, you are not "essentially looking for the same mushies"... Leratiomyces ceres and Psilocybe subaeruginosa are completely different species.

I have is exact same toxic mushroom fruiting in view from my kitchen window right now so the conditions are obviously good for them around the area at the moment. Definitely are not subs though.

Read this guide written specifically for subs in victoria. Then read it again, then repeat
Read through lots of ID threads and compare pics. Compare spore prints. You will hit the ground running for next season
