Psilocybe cyanescens (Wavy Cap) Identification request

Hi everyone,
I am new to mushroom identification, but I have had experience with mushroom psychedelic experiences in the past. I have actually came across what I believe to be a load of wavy caps just by chance in my garden when taking the bins out, along a row of bark / woodchips.
I've done some initial reading up on Psilocybe cyanescens identification, and the characteristics of the mushrooms I have found tick all the boxes.
Please see pictures, hopefully they are clear enough.
If anyone can let me know what the chances of them being wavy caps are, or what the likelihoods are of them being a potentially dangerous mushroom, it would be much appreciated. Also, if anyone could point when a good time to harvest them would be (if they look ready now). In the mean time I am of course doing my own personal reading up on them too.
I am not sure what I am going to do with them yet but it is rather exciting that I stumbled upon them.






Many thanks for your time and please let me know if I need to provide more info

Yep, these are Psilocybe cyanescens. You're lucky to have them growing right in your garden!

Yes, these look like Psilocybe cyanescens. You could try to take some better lit and sharper pictures, though. Just in case, since there are toxic species prone to inhabit the same area as P. cyanescens.

Thank you, and thank you for the quick responses!
I am not sure if the site is impacting resolution on the images making them not clear enough, but here are some more:













I am hoping these ones are clearer for you.
If I am to compare them to toxic lookalikes, do you know what those species are called? And what the tell tale signs are?

Galerina look very similar and are deadly. They will have broen spores and are more orange in color. They bruise black not blue like a psilocybe would. Important to check every specimen upon collection for blue bruising as the bluing can be transferred to other surfaces, like the inside of your collection bag or even onto a deadly mushroom, for this reason it's very hard to safely identify a mixed collection especially after drying starts.
These are deadly galerina fruiting right next to a psilocybe species.

Don't think these are psilocybe. Please make your own thread, hijacking creates confusion and takes away form the original poster. Also fix your pictures when you make the new post. Select the pics you want and hit copy code, this will autoformat the pictures for URL and make it much more user friendly.
