First mushroom find!

Hey guys,
So it was about midnight last night when my friend and I jumped in my tinny and cruised around to the local cow paddock. We were pretty drunk and stoned, which made it THAT much more exciting. We had to slide under this electric fence, which was a fucking mission, and then....no more than 20 metres away...was the first mushroom I had ever seen growing in a cow paddock. Intrigued, I scurried over there with my friend, who was pretty smashed, and kept telling me "Don't touch it man, it's poisonous! DON'T TOUCH IT MAN! YOU'LL DIE!!!"
So I found not one, but two, growing around a tree. Not sure if they're active, but would love someone to identify it for me, as I'm heading back to this cow paddock later today to try my luck.



Habitat: Late spring, South-East Queensland, cow pastures Cap: specimen a) 8cm diameter, b) 4cm diameter. Stalk: 10cm in length.
Hasn't bruised blue =[

Yes, I think you're right in saying they're chlorophyllum molybdites. Just googled the name and the images that come up look very similar.
Cheers man!

judging by the laminae and dimensions, it looks like Macrolepiota or Lepiota

I have to admit, I like your enthusiasm. You're a bit crazy aren't you? Be careful hunting while drunk and high. Ahh, what the hell am I talking about? Have fun!
