Beginner asking kindly to ID this

Hello everyone! So glad to have found this forum.
I've had a very positive effect of Golden Teacher mushrooms in the beginning of this year which seemed to have exploded any notion of depression from my life!
Now a few months have passed and a mushroom season is starting here. I'm in the Northern part of the South Island of New Zealand.
I have found this specimen in a mulched garden.







Habitat: Mulched garden area.
Gills: Creamy, light brown when fresh. After picking and drying have become darker (possibly only due to bruising)
Stem: Whitish. Not fragile. Seems pretty solid. See pictures.
Cap: Light brown. Approximately 2cm across. No 'nipple' or pointy head observed.
Spore print color: To me looks just grey/dark possibly with a slight purple tone to it. Definitely not brown. Look at the photo if it helps?
Bruising: Bruises very easily and quickly. Both cap and stem. The bruises seem bluish/greenish to me.
Location: Northern part of the South Island of New Zealand.
Thanks heaps. May you all find what you are looking for!

Thanks very much for both of you MpSeph and Psilosadhu.
As a keen beginner mushroom hunter, I was wondering, what differentiates this from, say, Agrocybe Pediades? Is it the bluish bruising or the spore print or something else? Thanks again for your guidance.

Agrocybe pediades has a more yellowish/tan/buff cap and stem, doesn't bruise blue and the spore print is different as well. Also the gills and the shape of the cap. They're not very similar and a spore print is rarely necessary to distinguish between a psilocybe and an agrocybe.
