was hoping to find some Psilocybe Azurescens but i think these may be a look-a-like.
Habitat:They where found along the coast mostly under trees, bush and covered by leaves and pine needles.
Gills: brown, caramel color
Stem:The stem ranges from 4-9mm in diameter.
Cap:obtusely conic-acutely umbonate and are 3-6cm in diameter. start to flatten when mature
I do not have a spore print ready yet but when i do i will update, and there is no noticeable bruising. This is my first post here so i hope i am providing you the right info. If not please let me know. Thanks

no blue bruising is a good indicator they're not what you're looking for

Those may be some type of Inocybe. Maybe Alan R. will chime in with the answer.

My guess is Cortinarius, nothing you would want to eat.
They do closely resemble Psilocybe azurescens, but that species turns blue dramatically when it is picked.
They could also be in Psathyrella and look a little like Inocybe.

look for tinges of blue/green on the margin. the base of the stem should bruise. it's not immediate. it may take 15-30 minutes or sometimes depending on their age they may have existing bruising due to weather or what have you.

when you say "blue hue" do you mean brown?
