Yard Mushrooms

Hello,
This is my first post and I just started getting into mycology so I am very novice. I apologize if I mess anything up below, I definitely have a lot to learn. These mushrooms grow in my front and backyard and now that I have gotten into mushrooms I am very curious what they are and was hoping someone could help, tried looking them up in my book and the Shroomify app but not very successful so far.
Habitat: Greater Seattle area, WA. These spring up after rains in my front and backyard. Backyard they pop up out of the mulch I have around my blueberry and raspberry bush. They pop up in the front yard out of the soil/grass.
Gills: Light to dark brown, I believe attached.
Stem: Thin stems, anwhere from an inch to a few inches long, white grayish stems but they seem to bruise dark. Can't tell if it's a gray/black or a blue/black, hard to be certain. They seem solid.
Cap: They range from an inch to a couple inches wide. The color goes from dark brown to beige. It almost seems like they start off brown then turn beige when older. Soft and smooth, not slimy. They are convex when small then turn concave and wavy when bigger
Spore print color: I took a spore print and the spores looked like dark purple/brown after 2 hours but in the morning looked more like just dark/rusty brown.
Bruising: Black with hints of purple/blue.
Other information: Scent to me is just classic mushroom smell if that makes sense? Nothing fruity/astringent or anything besides just...wet mushroom.

Bro. You struck gold
This is Psilocybe Cyanescens , highly potent psilocybin mushroom.

WOW! Really!?
That's nuts! These things grow all over my front and backyard after rains!
Thanks for the ID everyone! Crazy I have walked right past these things hundreds of times without even thinking about them.

I don't know if you're into magic mushrooms, but having this growing in your f-ing backyard is pretty dope.
 
Good ID request, and Welcome !

I used to enjoy them here and there, been a long time though. Might be time to revisit, almost feels like fate to have them growing right in the yard.
Now I feel bad knowing how many of them have just gone to waste out in the yard!
Thanks again! So glad already that I joined this forum!

This is giving me a great idea for a new low cost landscaping company...
Anyone know if there's any look-alikes I should look into before feeling comfortable 'field testing' these thing? The only thing that makes me nervous is that the tops look differently colored than most pics of psilocybe cyanescens I have seen but maybe just being paranoid?
Not sure if the ones I found were just towards the end of their lifecycle and were losing color, it's raining out here today so I will see if I can see any fresh ones popping up in the next few days.

Can you snap a couple distant habitat shots of your yard they are fruiting in and post please?
100% P. cyanescens the cap on the bigger specimen is just washed from precious rain or frost

Your welcome glad to have you on board with the threads...Welcome my friend I cant wait to see future collections make sure you are dropping spore prints off all specimens collected so you can mix up some gallon solutions to pour and spread the love in more areas around the yard

It feels almost serendipitous to stumble upon these things if they turn out to be the real deal. One bright ray of light to finish out such an odd year.
I did snap a few pics of them this morning on my way out the door to work, sorry if they're not the best quality. I'm not sure if the front yard has ever been mulched, we have only lived here for a few years. The ones in the front yard were not as plentiful and they also are already pretty brown and breaking down so I didn't grab a pic of those ones. Below are some of the ones still left in the backyard, most of them have melted back into the earth at this point. I would say there were about 20-30 of them when I first found them a couple days ago, just a few left now that are still standing. We just got a lot of rain yesterday so hoping some more pop out in the next few days.
