Hey everyone, found these monsters today, thought I'd share the pics with you all
Habitat: In moist grass, under pine/gum trees road side, upon cleaning found really fine pine needles amongst stems and gills
Gills: Light brown
Stem: Thick, really thick, never seen mushies this big before, last year's that I found were all smaller with thin stems.
Cap: Perfect light golden colours, caramelly tops and blueing around outer ring/cap
Spore print color: Still awaiting results, but confident will be purple
Bruising: Slight blueing, with grey, hard to see at this stage.
Other information: Really excited to see such big mushrooms, this early in the season.
Cleaned them up and resting over night to see more blueing in stems and tops. Thanks for looking and please give your thoughts.

Thanks for the ID help, I was drawn to them by their perfect colours on cap. I thought they were to big to be the golden tops I'm after.

please include direct pictures of the gills with your Id request, their attachment to the gills is an important part of the identification process.

Updates, Spore print has left brown lines, less and less signs of blueing on stems and tops, and here is a picture of the gills for further examination. But I'm now fairly certain these ar agaricus.

While I was out walking the dog this morning, I did find a little cluster of mushrooms nearby where I found the Psilocybin mushrooms last season. Although these look lighter in colour on the tops. Conditions are very similar in mulch and dead branches under small eucalyptus trees,where small mushrooms have formed. I cut a small mushroom to show it's gills and pulled another small group out to see the stems. But no clear blueing around tops or stems. Can I anyone help me identify this mushroom? And it's characteristics so I'm not getting confused when foraging for the Psilocybin mushrooms.
Thanks again to everybody.

Any identifying help/details on these latest photos? Location is Melbourne, growing in wood debris. Found active p subs only 10m away last season, growing in similar clusters. Thanks guys.

Updates,
Taken some samples from the large cluster of mushrooms growing when walking the roof this afternoon. After some research, I think they maybe a non active species Psathyrella, but doing a spore print to see. Caps are not quiet the golden colour we want to see, stems are white, and gills are creamy on the moister shrooms, while darker on the dried out mushies. Notice the warm weather has really dried up these little bad boys from the image I shared yesterday. A real shame they only pop up so quick and start to decay with such a short life span and a hot day. Gotta be right on to chase down these active p subs. Thanks for looking, and feel free to correct me if you can identify them.
