Some of these I'm not convinced that they have bruised blue. I'm only confident with 3 of them. The spore prints seem quite dark but it was a bit wet. Please let me know what I've got here and if there are any odd looking mushrooms that are not safe to eat in the photos as these are for a friend. These were found in NW Victoria. Some details and picture links below. Are 100% of these mushrooms safe to eat? Thanks so much. Greatly appreciated. Much love. Cheers. Habitat: 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 surrounded by foliage and branches, bark etc (pics of habitat below). Thanks a million
Gills, stem and cap: See photos below

2,3,4 and 5 are definitely safe. 1 and 6 may also be, but I am not as convinced.

Thanks guys. Do you care to elaborate on the characteristics of the last set of photos that tell you subs and not something nasty? Those 3 that are together, I can’t really see any blue. I’d really appreciate another TI. A bit paranoid.

I agree they all appear to be subs, some of them are a bit old and possibly waterlogged. i bet if ya start drying them out the bluing should become a bit more apparent.

I can see you are a TI and I feel it must be slightly annoying to have someone not trust your judgement especially when amateurs post photos almost daily but I'm curious and just genuinly interested in how you can confidently say those are all subs when the blueing isn't clear. What characteristics are you looking at to rule out anything nasty? I know you guys don't have time to give detailed responses but I think newbies would appreciate more detailed answers. Man, I'd even donate money to this site to give something back. Maybe that's a discussion for another thread. Much appreciated.

What Makes You Say The Bruising Isn't Clear? I Can See Clear Bluish Bruising On All Of Those Specimens.
It Might Not Be Clear To The Untrained Eye, But Like Doc Said, Those Are Psilocybe Subaeruginosa. We Take Identification Very Seriously, The Last Thing We Want Is You To Eat Something Poisonous Nice Finds By The Way

Identification Features Are A Combination Of Cap Shape, Color, Texture. Gill Color & Attachment. Spore Color. Stem Color, Thickness & Bruising (If Any). General Location, Habitat & Substrate. Solitary Or Clustered, Etc...

Learning to identify mushrooms is like learning a language. Imagine the mushroom's features are all the letters of a word. To someone who speaks the language, they can look at a word as a whole and just understand it without having to dissect each letter.
