Help with Cyan ID Please

I'm 98% sure I found a good patch of Cyans on Wednesday, but wanted one last verification before I try them out. I've never gone hunting before, just grown them.
Pictures are below description.
Habitat: Found in a landscaped Seattle park on light colored wood chips, on the edge of a garden bed.
Gills: The gills were tan and whitish.
Stems: White fibrous stems. The stems seemed hollow. The tallest ones I saw were 2 or 3 inches tall.
Caps: Caramel colored caps. The cap diameter of the biggest ones in this patch was 2" or less. There was a bump in the center of the cap. The cap is a little slimy when wet. The mature ones had wavy edges to the caps. Spore Print: Spore print was purplish-black.
Bruising: They clearly bruise blue and the edges of the caps tend to turn blue after picking too.
Smell: They smell...well mushroomey.
Location: Seattle, WA, Pacific North West, USA.
Thanks for your help!

Active Psilocybe, almost certainly P. cyanescens. congrats.
--------------------
Attn PWN hunters: If you should come across a bluing Psilocybe matching P. pellicolusa please smell it. If you detect a scent reminiscent of Anethole (anise) please preserve a specimen or two for study and please PM me.

no, but certain mushrooms like psilocybe cubensis, copelandia cyanescens, psilocybe cyanescens, and psilocybe azurescens all show extreme blueing most of the time.
its a good indicator when all the other features are there.
theres other mushrooms that bruise blue too, some of them are even toxic. the toxic ones have pores (like a sponge) instead of gills though and are easy to tell apart.
there is also many mushrooms like panaeolus subbalteatus, psilocybe stuntzii, psilocybe semilanceata, and some species of gymnopilus which most of the time dont show much blueing, in my experience.
