BLUE MUSHROOMS SAFE??? !!!shroom hunters!!! ASKING FOR HELP FROM HUNTERS, PLEASE!!!

My friends and I went shroom hunting in Southern Maine and we came across these blue mushrooms growing out of leaves near by rotting wood and such, in a forest. We seek help from experienced mushroom hunters and mycologist to identify this species so we wont die:-)
 This is what they look like when we found them in the ground, usually a couple feet apart from each other. We noticed some of these blue mushrooms looked different from each other, so we split them into 2 categories as you can see above...
 Here is a close-up of the blue mushrooms from the bottom, stems are all white with a bit of blue staining and are not entirely hollow.
 Dome-like results...
 Flatter ones...
 Anyway, this was the best print i could get of it, the gills on the print are brown. Resemble Mushrooms on this site: http://www.erowid.org/plants/mushrooms/safe-pik/p_baeocystis1.shtml Maybe they are both the same, who knows? do you? do you know if these are safe to trip on, should i add more pictures or more information, if so what??? Please reply.........
(and, yeah i was just kidding about my cat)

No!
-------------------- I went to st thomas and camped out ontop of the island... Despite my entire family being poor all my life, the land is priceless. I was chased by haitians in the main city charlotte amalie when my girlfriend and I got some cocaine for free in a bar and mixed it with alcohol, to form a stronger drug. With such confidence at 2am, we walked the 4-5 or so miles down to the beach where the african slaves lie like lions waiting on tourist prey. The war isen't on drugs... the war is on the causes that influence people to abuse drugs. drug-abuse is a by-product of the system and much like radioactive waste occurs from utilizing nuclear power, drug addicts with drug-problems will need to be properly disposed of, like the decaying radioactive waste produced from nuclear energy. -i2ancid

Those are Cortinarius, and from the spots on the caps they look to be close to Cortinarius iodes. This species is listed in Orson Miller's new book as poisonous. At best it is not recommended for eating for any reason.
No Cortinarius species is active.
Happy mushrooming!

blue mushrooms aren't the same as blue-bruising mushrooms. Although I don't know the species name off the top of my head, I've found those too and they aren't psilocybe based.

There are several species that bruise blue, can exhibit near bluing, or be naturally blue colored and are not active. Some can even be poisonous.
Bluing can be a good indicator of actives, but should not relied on alone. Using a combination of features for identification of actives is the right way to go about it. Don't just go on bluing alone.
