Help Identifying Psilocybe cyanescens

Habitat: United States, Eastern Washington, woods in the city, pine mixed with other types of plant life and trees, spread out along the forest floor, this specific patch was located a few feet from a sidewalk along side of the road, it's been raining for weeks and they weren't covered by plant life or trees for the most part ill get images of where tomorrow during the day. Also temperatures have been between the low 40's and 60's
Gills: Color light tan, attached/yes, gills, etc.
Stem: Length2-4 inches, diameter 2-4 cm, color white when dry-dark when wet, texture smooth, hollow, thinish, etc.
Cap: Diameter .5-2.5 inches, dark caramel, texture smooth and slimy, spherical and wavy when more developed, convex, etc.
Spore print color: Off brown
Bruising: The mushrooms were all very dark so they didn't show any sign of bruising.
Other information: The mushrooms were a bit spread out some growing in groups of three or four I had found two or three patches along side of the road and through out the forest along the bike trails and so forth I found young ones growing all the same color but as I stated its bed raining for some time around here with only a few days in between without very much sun I did happen to find some cyanescens of the color most images show these were in the woods but they were too young for me to want to pick so I figured I'll return at a later date I also found some of the average color in the exact same area as the ones growing along the side the road and in the images so it led me to believe that perhaps age and water took its toll on these mushrooms leading me to think the psilocin in the mushrooms had been exposed to a lot of air over their lifespan and with the wind and rain ( so all the leaves and constant washing) the psilocin was just washed out. But even with that idea in mind is still rather ask about and see if I can't get answer that differs from the ones I've gotten in person or found myself while doing research over the last few days. Also my friends mom who did plenty of hunting and shrooming in her life ( 60's baby ) told me they were discolored from age and rain so I would hope she's not wrong but if she is I really don't mind throwing them out its better than throwing them up so anyways thank you for reading I hope to get some replies by the end of the weekend, I'll have dried them and posted pictures of their habitat by then, also have worked my way around mushrooms for some time now just recently got done picking patches of libs and Psilocybe Mexicanas currently am on them just wanted to get a clear answer about what I found cant find a single thread of information online about it and everybody I talk to in person says good to go but Actually was told by one that she had a fair bit of some that looked like these and that they had been perfectly fine so let me know what you all think

definitely NOT cyans

Maybe Entoloma, not cyans.

Doesn't seem to really match up with entoloma's characteristics

The older ones were very wavy and some all the way folded up I'll show more images of them tomorrow but if I don't get positive feed back here which obviously haven't so far I don't mind getting rid of them

They are not active and likely not edible.

They are definitely an Entoloma species.
