Are these Psilocybe Allenii?

Hey guys, I've been searching for active Allenii for a while. I was walking my dogs this morning looking for mushrooms in general, and found a patch that I strongly thought might be psilocybin.
Habitat was woodchips in a park in the North Bay area of SF. The caramel color of the caps is what stood out to me the most. I've found a lot with similar caps but red stems, this is my first time finding white stems. I thought I saw blue bruising. Here are some pics. Tell me I've finally found what I'm looking for!

Actually hard to say. I believe they are Cyans actually not Allenii.
But wait for a trusted identifier. They might not even be Psilocybes at all.

You got em! Let em get a bit bigger next time. Kind of hard to tell difference between cyans and alleni when they are babys....from the color, i would guess cyans, but, like I said, very hard to distinguish between when they are young. If you picked 4 or 5 little guys, it should be enough for a mild trip, particularly if eaten fresh. They can keep for a few days in the fridge. Beyond that, they need to be put in front of a fan to dry. Nice work. It just gets easier from here on out.

Cyanescens seems to be where people are leaning. Somebody said Galerina so I got a bit spooked, here are some more photos if anyone wants to give me a 100% confirm so I can down these things!

They're psilocybes. Let them grow until the caps flatten out, and you'll get more out of your patch!

Galerina usually has a ring on the stem when young like the ones you have. Usually. Nothings locked in stone when it comes to mushrooms and variations. Spore print color is your best go to for starting identifications. Not a TI just my opinion.

Galerinas also do not bruise blue, and have a different colored stem- Psilocybe stems should be white to whitish-blue. A somewhat odd test I also employ is bending the shrooms 90 degrees. Galerinas usually break, and psilocybe cyanescens usually bounce back to standing. Not scientific at all, but...it's one more data point I like to add in when identifying.
