Melbourne ID Confirmation: P Sub (pics)

I found these bad boys under a gumnut tree, in moist woodchipped soil, in the north-east suburbs of Melbourne (Australia). It had probably rained lightly a few days prior. This patch was about a few weeks old too because this was the second time I'd visited it.
Characteristics (if you cant tell from the pictures): - Light brown gills - White, hollow stem (stained blue) - Light brown cap, heavily bruising blue - Dark purple/brown spore print - Smelled pleasant. Like normal, white supermarket mushrooms
The curved mushroom was growing from the same mycelium as the non-curved mushrooms, so I can say with confidence that they are the same species.




Just wondering if anyone can confirm that these are Subs. They remind me of the Australiana variety.
I hope I did good on my first hunt and ID thread

Did you notice blue bruising on all of them?
I can say for certain that the mushroom in the third pic appears to be a sub as I can see some blue along the stem.
I'd wait for a better opinion though before proceeding.

Those are not panaleous subbalteatus. P subbs have dark black spore prints, not purplish as in the picture. Those look more like a psilocybin mushroom. I would wait for someone more versed in Australian psilocybes before I went eating them though.

Yeah they're subs...
but don't assume mushrooms growing together are the same - galerinas can grow right next to subs.

Cheers for the feedback everyone; much appreciated 
In total I got 42g (dry). Not too shabby for a first hunt I'd say

Considering a decent dose for P. Subaeruginosa is 1 gram dry, you'll be set for a long time.
