Well your pics are pretty crappy (cell phone?)...but I can tell even from those that they are not the kind you're probably looking for.
If I had been maintaining my studies of mycology properly I could probably have a shot at an ID, but I'm feeling lazy and for now they shalst be known as the dreaded 'LBM' - little brown mushrooms.
They do look vaguely like subaeruginosa or something, but the stems are too stringy and the gills are too brown, rather than a purplish brown or tan.

Yeah, those are mushrooms alright! Almost impossible to identify with just a pic - at least try and get a spore print. The general look of them gives me the impression that they are nothing of edible interest, and especially aren't active.

there are a few posts just previous to yours on the subjects your asking bout regarding NZ AND Aussieland.....more than youd ever want to know on em.....good rule a thumb is if they dont have dark dark brownish or dark purplish brown to almost blackish spores color (sporeprint....when you cut off the cap and lay it down flat with gills down on a white peice of paper for dark color spores)......and dont quikly turn blue where bruised.....you probably dont want em.....your pictures way too bluury.....does your shroom have these two characteristics???.....

The photographs are not clear, but it looks like Psilocybe Aucklandii. If it bruises blue on the stems, and green on the cap(Especially around the rim),the stems are tough to break, gills are adnexed, and it leaves a purple brown spore print, then you've found it.

Definitely not a Psilocybe
