East Bay - (Partially) Dried Finds Id Request

Found these today at the same spot from my previous finds. I had hoped that the fruits would grow with the rain from last week, but they seem to have dried out in the freeze. I am very confident that some of these are cyanescens, and a little less confident about others.
Habitat: Wood-chips
Gills: Ranging from light caramel to dark, almost black. One has lighter looking gills than the rest, but on close inspection, this seems to be because the spores have fallen off (There are smears of the same color that appear on the gills of others). All have intermediate gills. Gills are unattached. On the driest specimens, the wrinkles in the stipe connect with where the gills abut the stipe, giving a somewhat subdecurrent appearance.
Stem: Thin. 1-2" in length. White with some blue bruising (more obvious on some than on others). Sturdy, almost woody. The larger specimens have an obvious hollow center.
Cap: <1.5". Light tan to deep caramel brown, with obvious bluing on some (less obvious on others). Some of the dried specimens display clear blue bruising where they have shriveled up, others exhibit less of this.
Spore print color: Still printing, will post pictures when they are finished (of the ones that were fresh enough to still drop spores)
Bruising: Obvious blue bruising on some. Others look blue, if only the lightest tint.
 Spore prints from this page:



Less confident about these:

They appear to be dried P. Cyanescens to me.

Washed and ready to dry:

I've been washing my finds before drying (just to clean them). Last night's find was my driest so far, but I still washed them. Some of the fruits seemed to rehydrate slightly, but appear to be drying out fine now. However, the towel that I blotted most of the water off them with is *very* blue
 I'm wondering if I made (and poured down the drain) cyan tea without realizing it.

Thanks for the feedback. I've started to notice the blueing more clearly on the few that I doubted. I might just toss the two tiniest ones (Im still not positive about them) into a wood chip pile near by.

Washing them removes active compounds and causes more decay of the remaining goodies during the drying process. I use my fingers or a brush to remove any loose debris, If needed, I wipe off mud or dirt that is stuck to a mushroom with a damp paper towel or cloth.

Okay, good to know. Upside is the paper towel is pretty cool looking. The picture I posted was only after washing the first third, its almost completely tie-died blue now

ambc, do you think they are all cyanescens? Mainly questioning the last set I posted.

damn... I came here to post this same exact thing...
uhhh I'm guessing we're close I have the exact cutting I took last night, the patch is very small, very public, with fruits in all stages of growth, including one I saw last night that is all blown out like the on you posted, at first glance I thought it was small dead bird or something, by chance if this is the spot where I was, was there a patch right next to it with a SHITLOAD of 1" fruits?

It was a pretty public spot, a condo complex in a decently busy area, east bay. Hard to tell how close we were to each other just from this description though. If there are other patches nearby, I've not found them.

Still hoping for a Trusted Identifier to weigh in on these. I can provide additional pictures if they will help, but all of the fruits are cracker dry at this point.

Thanks Lhun!
You think the same for the last ones I was most suspicious of as well?

I've had a lot of experience with P. Cyanescens and I can tell you that those are cyans.
