Hey guys, long time lurker first time poster/hunter

Managed to find these little guys in the inner eastern suburbs of Melbourne. Was extremely excited upon spotting, as they seemed to tick all the boxes, correct colour cap, blue bruising, growing in shade and tanbark etc. However I took a cap home for a spore print only for it to not have any clear signs of purple, only brown.

After a little more research there's a chance they could be the poisonous doppelganger Galerina.

Would anybody with a little experience be able to help me to identify whether these are subs?

Appreciate any feedback
Thank you

When in doubt, throw 'em out!

To be honest I am quite new to this aswell (only the last few seasons) but I have seen alot of subs in the last couple of years.

In my experience they (subs) can vary substantially, even in a very close proximity to other colonies. For instance I have found one colony about 2km apart from my usual patch that has MUCH thicker stems than any others I have seen.

That said, if the TI's such as spore prints arnt giving you what you should expect it's not worth it.

Out of interest what are you printing the spores on? Do you have access to a microscope?

The ones on the white surface are all P. subaeruginosa. Not enough details are visible on the other ones.

Thanks for the reply mate, the if in doubt chuck it out motto is a great one. I'll stick by it in my mushie endeavours.
Just left them on white paper in a container overnight, unfortunately no access to a microscope, but I'll bear it in mind next time I go shopping

Thanks as well Tangich. Happy days! I'll be sure to make my photos clearer the next time I'm in need of an ID
