hmmm ...the white balance on your pics is all over the place so I'm having a tough time evaluating the blue bruising you described... I'm thinking you might have Armillaria but I may be off, definitely wait for another opinion.

In 1962, a six-year-old girl in Oregon experienced a high fever and seizure after eating mushrooms which were later supposedly identified as Psilocybe cyanescens; she died three days after being hospitalized.[4] Similar cases in children (not resulting in death) have been reported in San Francisco.[4] Despite these incidents, the mushroom is not generally regarded as being physically dangerous to adults.[5] Since all the psychoactive compounds in P. cyanescens are water-soluble, the fruiting bodies can be rendered non-psychoactive through parboiling, allowing their culinary use. However, since most people find them overly bitter and they are too small to have great nutritive value, this is not frequently done.

thanks, we went out into the woods all day and found a lot of nice mushrooms, including aminta muscara (sp). I also found this fallen tree that was just COVERED in mushrooms all over. I will post some pics below. But we didn't run across these guys until we returned defeated to civilization and the first place we stopped in town, there these were right there. they just jumped out in front of me. and as i found the first one, the next ones followed. Here are some pics of what we saw in the woods:

If you hunt in the PNW, I bet you probably know exactly which one it was as well.
