Possible Psilocybe Cyanescens UK

 Was strolling through a forest pathway (UK) just earlier today and found these, strangely enough on a decaying wooden log. Not certain they are all cyans but pretty sure I have one at least. Mind you, first time ever finding potentially active shrooms. (Just to note, I found 7 mushrooms. I have taken 2 or 3 photos of each one, alongside all of them side by side.)
Gills: Mostly a pale orange/tan colour
Stem: When found was an orangey brown colour, they seem to have bruised near the bottoms
Cap: caramel brown fading to a yellowish colour near the rim. Some are more brown than others, and some seem to have a more bulbous centre than some others.
If anyone has any info, would be much appreciated

Well I knew I'd be thinking too wishfully to think I had a whole bunch of cyans, but are none of them cyans? None? Thought I may have had one young cyan, 1st and 2nd on bottom left row of pics

Though... upon closer inspection of other cyans the stems are a different colour to what I have... Bloody shame. Appreciated regardless, suppose I'll just continue searching

Well, here's an opportunity to become more knowledgeable and better able to trust your own eye.
Spore print everything. I use tin foil usually. If you need help understanding how to make them, say so.
I can tell you 100% that there are no cyans in your photos. Galerina have a "rusty" brown orange spore print. If you could learn to spore print, you would know how to identify toxic genera and feel 100% sure you were not going to eat one or miss one that you give to someone else.

No mate, none. It's pretty clear.
Cyans have very white stems that bruise blue heavily.

Ay, cheers. I thought they may have been just young cyans as I'm not certain of when the season starts exactly here but I know it's around this sort of time. Needless to say, I will watch out for these. In future I'll look out for a white stem that definitely bruises blue, and spore print when uncertain.
