Suspect P. Baeocystis

If confirmed this would be my first baeocystis find. It will also be the first Psilocybe find in this town in in 7+ years of hunting it. I wasn't able to take habitat photos. The pics I took are not the greatest either, I apologize.
I found these next to each other near a shopping center in a median planter. I will be back in a few days for better photography. They where growing in wood chips scattered to gregarious. I harvested only the two specimen.
The Lager specimen is 4cm from the pileus to the nipped end of the stipe. The pileus measures 3cm across. The smaller of the two measures 2cm tall and the pileus is 2cm wide. The pileus of the smaller one is convex and undulated which led me to believe they are P. baeocystis. Their pileus' are hygrophanous fading from olive brown to to straw blonde.
The gills of both specimen are adnate to sinuate.
There appeared to be blue bruising on the upper stipe, above the annulus of the larger one. The stipes on both have an annulus. The stipe on the larger one is whitish turning to brown and the smaller specimen has a brownish yellow stipe.
The on sight spore print laid on another cap and deposited on the annulus was purple black.
The average spore size is 10.7 x 6.8

Could you post some better pictures? From your description and pictures it seems likely.

Not with the light source I have. My bateries died on me too, while trying snap a couple more for you. Maybe I'll be able to get there tomorrow and take a couple quick picks in their habitat with natural lighting.

Yes, I think it is P. baeocystis.
Here are my spore pictures of this species: http://mushroomobserver.org/130071

I'll re-size them later, if need be. There were only the three pins today. The pic with the solo mushroom had allot more blue, in person, near the margin of the pileus.

The annulus was one of the things making me question them.
