Psilocybe silvatica? Help me identify :)?

So while taking my dogs for a walk on a wooded trail today I came across a cluster of some boomeresque mushrooms on the ground, so I decided to collect them. Now I have zero experience as a mushroom hunter/identifier other than hunting down a bag of boomers more than a few times in my life, and they definitely had that look about them.
I had checked in with past teacher of mine who happened to be a rather experienced mushroom hunter and he said that it was a psilocybe, but didn't specify what kind; I don't believe him to be the type to be interested in ingesting those type of mushrooms as he was a rather straight edge, profession guy and recommended against eating it.
I live in Western Appalachia Pennsylvania, at a very high elevation and I found these baby's growing in a cluster among decaying red, orange, and yellow fall leaves and some twigs. Today(Tuesday) was a beautiful fall day following a rainy and rather chilly weekend.
They did not bruise blue, and after a short read about Psilocybe silvatica that seemed to be a trait of it. I am doing a spore print now, I will post a picture tomorrow after it has been a decent amount of time, but as of now (3 or 4 hours) the spore print is a very dark almost black purple.
What is the opinion of a very experienced mushroom hunters? And my last question is, will I get an actual trip from these? just some giggles? or will i just get sick? I am experienced in tripping, but it has been a couple of years since I last tripped since they are so hard to find where I live now, and I have been really wanting to lately.
