Definitely intersting looking mushrooms, very beautiful actually, I almost wanna say it's a psilociybe. I'm not familiar with the species in question, let's see if someone with more experience can chip-in. Do you have any more pictures? Maybe one that shows more of the blue bruising?

It's definitely a psilocybe. Looks a bit like a stropharia, though. I've got plenty of pictures on my camera and computer, but there's no Wi-Fi here in the village. They don't bruise very fast, but on my photos taken a few hours later it's obvious. I'll post more later, only got my phone at the moment.

Psilocybe subaeruginascens looks to be accurate.   
Please await your Trusted Identifier (TI) to confirm.

Forgot to add the defined annulus, which is sometimes as far down the stipe as 3/4. They seem to grow huge and in turfs when in chips or rice, in mulch along the road they're usually no more than 25mm wide and 40mm tall, growing only 2-5 together, but not in clusters.

Yes, Psilocybe subaeruginascens. The very light colored cap in age is a distinctive characteristic that separates this from Psilocybe ovoideocystidiata (as does DNA sequence data).
There are also some other closely related species that may be synonyms, described from Japan, Java and other parts of Asia.
