ID please newbie NW Victoria, Australia

Hi guys, first of all thanks in advance for the knowledge and enthusiasm for sharing. This is my first time picking wild mushrooms. Considering that, I'd like to get confirmed ID's on what ALL these are from as many TI's as possible. I know this sounds annoying but even if someone says what they are I would feel a lot more comfortable if several people could agree or disagree. These were found in North West Victoria. See some notes below per template. Additonal notes. Things I discovered.... the stems were very firm compared to some similar looking mushrooms. They all took root pretty well. Certainly weren't weak at all. I can't really observe strong smells. Some notes on the photos... I realise I should have kept each 'pick' seperate and photographed that batch together. That is not the case. Mushrooms from different locations but similar habitats (in the same location, same day) were mixed together in one bag. Then I seperated into size more or less. Below you will see 7 links to pics. The first 6 links contains 3 images. Each of those images (from the same link contains the same mushrooms) but from three different angles. So in one link you'll see the same mushrooms but 3 angles so you can see stem, gills and cap. The last link shows habitat and freshly picked from ground pics. As I said, first time and the afternoon was a bit rushed. Excited to find out what these are. I am assuming there might be a few different species in the pics. I am doing some spore prints now. As many ID's as possible please. Much appreciated you legends. Pic links at bottom of post
Habitat: Wet forest - wet sclerophyll. Not sure of specific trees. Eucalypts mostly I believe. Lots of fallen trees and branches, bark, leaves etc. Mushroom growing from the ground.
Gills: see photos
Stem: see photos
Cap: see photos.
Spore print color: to be advised. currently dropping spores on a selection but not all
Bruising: bruised blue on most
Location: North West Victoria

Thanks guys. To be clear, 100% of them? There are none in all of those 6 sets of photos that you would wanna see a spore print of? Are they all that obviously silocybe subaeruginosa?. Is it because they are evidently bruised blue or because of other characteristcs? Would appreciate a few other ID's from other members. Don't mean to question and offend the members that replied, just wanna be 100% sure. Cheers.

All Of Those Are Psilocybe Subaeruginosa, Nice Finds
General Location, Habitat, Size, Shape, Texture & Color Of Cap, Stems & Gills, Spore Color, & Yes Bruising. All Are Important In Every Identification.
There Are Quite A Few Non Actices That Bruise Blue, But None Of Them Look Like Psilocybe Subaeruginosa. IMO

Yes, all of them. Well, stem and cap colour, gills and gill colour, habitat, location, bruising and that we see hundreds of them everyday 😀 There are no other known bluing psilocybe in that habitat in Victoria.

Awesome, cheers. Here are some spore sprints that I took. I will make a seperate post to ID a few more that are more questionable. Find below spore sprints for a few of the above. What assumptions can I make about the slight differences in those spore colours. I know the shades can vary slightly. Is that to do with the age? The medium sized ones seemed to produce the clearest and cleanest print whereas the larger ones where a lighter almost brownish colour, not that reallt dark brownish purple.
