Identification of FunGuys

Basically, my friend (who does not have internet), found these and was wondering what they were. She is wondering about their safety, but also would like to know about the type. I heard about this website on reddit and offered to post pictures and see if you guys could help me identify them. Are they food? Are they magical? Will they harm/kill her?
Habitat: Where does it grow? In central florida, 177' above sea level. Thats all I know. My friend (who does not have internet) found them and is trying to figure out what they are
Gills: All but the biggest have brown gills, The second smallest one is very dark brown. I do not know what is meant by attached or not.
Stem: IDK if its the whole stem or not, but the only one that has a stem attached is the brown topped one. The stem is narrow and hollow. The exterior of the stem is wrinkly. it is thin.,
Cap: Diameter, color, texture, conical/spherical, convex/concave, etc.
Largest: 2", tan and rust colored in center, wrinkly, I think you'd call it concave. Its flat except one side is kind of folded in towards thee gills.
2nd largest: 2" long, 1.5 wide, oval shaped, I think also concave, smoother, but slightly wrinkly
3rd: circular, about 1.5-1.75 inches, almost convex (curving up at edge, but closer to flat), but it is again folded. wrinklier, than 2 but less than 3.
4th: circular, .5-.75 " round, concave, nipple looking bump in the center of the top that wasn't present on any except maybe the largest.
5th (the dark chunk): folded, dark tan fading to rust colored. less wrinkly.
6th (the lighter chunk): wrinklier. light tan fading to rust color then black.
Spore print color: Very important! I honestly dont know what to say regarding this please guide me.
Bruising: Color that the mushroom bruises, if any. 1: rust towards center of top (If thats a bruise). 2: dark brown towards center of top (If thats a bruise). 3: rust towards center of the top (If thats a bruise). 4: rusty top (If thats a bruise).
Other information: Scent of the mushroom, anything else you think is important, large close-up pictures showing stem, cap and gills.

From left to right, every even numbered image is the tops of the mushrooms.

They look dry and dry is hard to identify with any degree of certainty.
Were they found in a plastic or mylar bag by any chance?

It's hard to ID dry mushrooms, but those look like Psilocybe Cubensis.

Thank you for the reply! No she actually said she found them. Will the stuff at the bottom of the bag help ID it? I will post a picture of that.

I’m not seeing any bluing. It’s hard because they are so dried out. I would toss em and go out and find more take pics like the ones you did but also of them in the ground.

Sometimes Dry Cubes Don't Show Bluish Bruising, I Am 100% Confident Those Are Cubes & They Are Safe. I'm Very Familiar With Psilocybe Cubensis

MpSeph, I like your confidence, I guess I error on the side of caution. I’m just not seeing it and in my experience the cool thing with blue bruising mushrooms is that the blue tends to remain even when dry.

I Don't Blame You, The Bluish Bruising Is The Most Prominent Identification Factor, Just Some Cubes Bruise More Than Others.
I Just Got Done With Some Cultivated Cubes That Only Show Bluish Bruising At The Very Base Of The Stipes.
I Can See Bluish Bruising In Pic #4 Right Where The Stipe Attaches & You Can See Dark Purplish Spore Deposits On Some Of The Caps.
That's Why I Say I'm 100% On Them, The Only Other Mushrooms With The Same Attributes Would Be A Protostropharia Sp & They Don't Look Like A Protostropharia To Me
