Mh... very interesting! They surely look like the ones epilobium posted. I don't like to do it, but I have to reconsider my ID  I've NEVER ever seen St. aeruginosa that slim and also that colored when dried. The one in in the middle (of the original posted ones) looks more like a Cyan to me, than the other ones, though I've seen plenty of Cyans looking exactly like the smaller ones.
So hereby I revise my ID on them and say: I surrender! They are St. aeruginosa! NICE ID you guys

Case closed, that was fun! We should do this more often. 
Besides, if it were true that cyans were being found in a field, this would change a lot of facts and conceptions that we already know. I just had a feeling it was too good to be true. This whole series of posts just proves the how interesting and variable the world of fungi can be! Epilobium, thanks for bringing these to our attention and starting this thread. When you do spore print photos, try to do them in bright natural light. Its difficult to identify colors in such warm, dim lighting. Thanks to all for contributions.

I applaud your willingness to fight your case until proven absolutely wrong. You didn't have much choice but to back down, after the recent post of pictures, though. ehehehe.
Later guys.
This only supports the frequently posted maxim - Dried mushrooms are almost impossible to ID.

Cheers guys, quality responses! The shrooms in the first pic were very fresh and still a little sticky.
Top quality work, i too am now convinced they're strophs. although, I may try a couple (with skins removed) just in case 
I think I'm also going to invest in a microscope so I can start checking spore size/ornamentation... should help a lot with ID's!
Sorry about the 'warm light', I've learnt my lesson for my next posts. We'll back to the libs then, at least theres 000's of those around 
Cheers guys
