Identification help please 1

Hi,
This is my first post. Found these beautiful mushrooms during a trip into a local forest. I'm new to identification of the mushrooms, so not sure what they are. They look pretty close to psilocybe azurescens or subaruginosa. Using a loupe, I can see that there are some dark-purple spores. I will take a spore print and add it to the post.
Habitat: - found on dead wood - Canada
Gills: - cream color - attached, adenate - dark-purple spores
Stem: - length: 30mm - 90mm - diameter: 3mm - 10mm - color: brown at bottom, but gets light-brown and then cream towards the cap - texture: hollow inside and stem's walls are thick - some dark-purple marks in annular zone - no veil
Cap: - umbonate, conical - diameter: 30mm - 70mm - color: umbo has caramel color, but the margins are cream
Spore print color: - using loupe, I can see some dark-black spores, but need to take print to confirm that
Bruising: - didn't see any blue or purple colors when bruising
Thanks.

could be, but you have to be careful when you Identify mushrooms in artificial light because the colors can be distorted.
@fungusul, Are the gills yellowish green or smokey grey? Do they taste bitter (when tasting mushrooms, never swallow, always spit it out and rinse)?

Thank you. I'll take a look in detail at hypholoma capnoide and compare. At first look, hypholoma capnoide has the gills which are a lot darker, maybe because of the spores.
The pictures are a little bit towards yellow and darker than in reality. Probably because of the artificial light and my camera. The colors should more be lighter.
The gills are not yellow green or smokey grey. They are more like butter-cream(#efe0cd) with some light grey from spores.
The gills are not tasting bitter. They tastes like normal mushrooms.

it's definitely not Psilocybe 9f any kind, it's Hypholoma.

That wouldn't help in this case, it will be purplish brown, lack of Bluish bruising is the biggest indicator that this is not Psilocybe

It looks that it's a hypholoma capnoide. Tomorrow, when I'll have the spore print, I'll check to see if they are purplish brown.
Found some pictures that I've taken outside, so light is better. I should take most of the pictures outside for better results.

Thanks to everyone for your help.

Bluish bruising would a big indicator for a potential psilocybe. I didn't find any so far, but keep reading about them and hoping to see at least one in the wild.
Found this beauty two days ago. I think that it is amanita muscaria.

Thank you @ZenZone. It was too beautiful to pick-it up and I didn't know too much about it(other that it's poisonous). After doing more reading, it seems that they have some medicinal properties, tincture can be used for sciatic back pain. Returned next day, but it was gone, probably because is very popular.
