Sub ID Request South Australia 1

Hi,
It was my 12th time out hunting today and first time finding what I believe are subs! Would a TI be so kind as to please ID these for me?
They were all found amongst bracken near a creek, lots of decaying plant matter, blackberry bushes, eucalyptus trees and other native trees were around. A->D were all found together and there was short, green grass growing there too. E was found separate to the others with the same habitat except the grass.
All of them bruised blue and had dark purple spore prints (it's pretty hard to distinguish that in the photos though).
The images with the ruler were all taken straight after being picked, the images with the caps cut off were taken about 1-3 hours later, and the spore print images were taken a further ~5 hours after that.
A:
      
B:
       
You can see there were a couple pins in there that I over-eagerly grabbed at the start and they didn't produce a spore print, I guess unsurprisingly. I left the other pins I found!
C:
     
D:
      
E:
      
I also came across a few that were rotting like the one below, decided not to collect them, probably a good idea right?

Thank you!

Yes, all psilocybe subaeruginosa, nice find! The mushroom in the last photo has only been munched on by a snail or something, they're still fine for consumption.

Thanks very much Psilosadhu!
Would love to get some more confirmations from others to soothe my paranoid mind. 😬

Just make sure they all bruise blue. Discard any that doesn't.

Most Of Those Seem To Be Bruising Blueish, Most Look To Be Psilocybe Subaeruginosa.
As Stated Above, Toss Any That Don't Bruise Blueish. The Blueish Colored Bruising Is An Obvious Sign. Nice Finds By The Way

Thanks again! They all bruised blue. 👌
All are on the way to drying into crispness now.
As an aside, I bought one of these today for when I want to store them, $100 off the marked price for a clearance sale!

You should store your mushrooms in ziplock bags inside an airtight box which you put in the freezer. This vacuum thing won't make any difference other than keeping food stuff fresh in the fridge.
