First Active Harvest (Bay Area) ID Help

FIRST HARVEST. Pretty sure these are all P. cyanescens or allenii, but some like the largest one (first pic and 2nd/3rd from final pic of gills/partial print; largest in the batch pics) looked drier than the rest when I harvested so it just made me nervous/desirous of outside counsel.
Sorry for the pic dump. Just wanna be thorough, here! Pretty damn confident, though.
Habitat: Suburban woodchips.
Gills: Somewhat tight cinnamon/brown with bluish hue over time.
Stem: Sturdy, thin-ish, whitish with bruising+dirt.
Cap: Wavy or broadly convex.
Spore print color: In progress (partial on foil included)
Bruising: Bluish

Awesome, thanks for the reply! Been enjoying the fungus for a long time, but never foraged.
Was all gung ho until I had a dozen caps drying on my desk and started looking at pictures of Galerina species again hahaha. Not that I was unfamiliar with them before (learned all the deadly ones first.)
Thanks for the input. Was pretty confident, but I think it's stupid to trust yourself 100% when just starting out.

Yeah definitely study the ones you have and get to know their characteristics. Once you get the hang of it you will be able to tell immediately what kind of species you see. Cuts down on time when you're covering a lot of ground.

I've been getting pretty good at IDing! Those damn tubaria and leratiomyces ceres have become the bane of my existence.
Last question, if you/anyone else gets a chance: what's up with the appearance of that larger one in these pics? Gills/bluing are fine, but the cap... Just drier/older? The margin striations are "absent" or rather I guess they're just sort of the ragged edges of the cap now. And the color/pattern on the cap is odd just because it's hygrophanous and now dry? Not worried, just curious.
Also, do people clean their mushrooms? Dry brush? Damp cloth?

Can you post which one you're talking about? I clean mine with water to get rid of sand and dirt. Adds to the drying time but I find it's worth it.

This one + top right in the batch pic. As they're drying, I'm seeing they all sort of look like that over time.
