Psychedelic? How Can I tell?

Yo what's up everyone. I've gotten some good help from this forum in the past so I hope there's someone who can help me today. I need to know if what I found is psychedelic and/or some easy field test I could preform. I took some pictures and they look to me like a 'Panaeolus Cinctulus' or possibly 'P. Caerulipes' variety (which have both been reported in my area), however I'm very inexperienced in identification and it's very possible these are just look-alikes. They are in a very nearby and easy to access location if anyone needs another picture.
If they are psychedelic I'm hoping someone could point me in the direction of a way I could maybe harvest spores and grow some more myself. Thanks! Here are the pictures:

II. Accurate mushroom descriptions
It is important to describe your mushrooms as accurately as possible.
Along with the pictures you should try to provide the following:
* Habitat What kind of trees were nearby? What was it growing from? * Location Where in the world was it? * Gills What do they look like? Always try to take photos that show the gills of both young and mature mushrooms. * Stem Carefully dig it out of the ground so you can get a picture of the whole thing. * Spore print color (if you have time) * Scent of the mushroom. * Color that the mushroom bruises when damaged. * Anything else you might find important

I'm sorry, I don't really know what else to say. It was growing on/from/out of some wood chips/mulch, the general area is central-eastern United States, I showed the best picture of the gills I could get (to me they look brown), I showed the stem (albeit not the base very base which is obscured by the mulch), It doesn't look mature enough to take a spore print yet (I could be wrong), I didn't smell it but I will and will update with my best description of the scent, and I didn't think to try to bruise them. Does that clear anything up?

Pick it and see if it turns blue. If not, it’s probably not active. At least not that one. There are active mushrooms that don’t bruise blue and they may be in your area, but I have similar fungus on my lawn and it’s not active.
All that said I’m not a trusted identifier so wait for one of them to tell you what it is.

Hey, I just poked the cap with a pin and it turned a dark brown/black color. I'm guessing these aren't magic. Oh well! I'll find some eventually
