not sure, but not anything I've seen and doesn't look active.
you sure about the bruising? Can you take pics of the bruising?

Both mushrooms look like the same species, but its hard to tell for sure.
Looks like a Stropharia or Agrocybe or Psathyrella, kind of hard to tell.
I don't think it is anything edible or active.
Are you sure about the blue bruising? That would be highly unusual. Can you describe the blue bruising in greater detail and post some pictures that show the bruises?
The blue bruising psilocybin mushrooms in your state grow in dung, I don't know of any woodlovers that would be growing in leaves in the rain forest.
Since you say the stem is fragile, my best guess is that you have a Psathyrella species.

NWDude, what you just said made absolutely no sense. Please clarify.

better not clarify those are posible psathyrella or stropharia, where is the stem is dificult to id a lone cap, the bruising is in the stem or what we demand to see the bruising .

not enough info..
could be what has been said and could even be a fragile stemed Hebeloma or Inocybe geophylla(not common but happening)...the gills and spores color just doesn't convince me for Psathyrella and Strophariaceae, but with a fragile stem and bruising...humm try to tell us dimensions, textures, gills and stem better descriptions and more pics.
good luck in ID it

The cap was about 2 inches across, and the stem was about 4 inches, for both. Sorry, I cant get anymore pictures right now, maybe on Thursday. Maybe my idea of bruising is wrong, but for shroom 2, if I scraped it, it would quickly turn dark, dark blue. For shroom 1, nothing happened at first, but when I went back to check on the prints it had those little spots on it. It looks kind of like a lot of blue ink, so much that it looks black.

very interesting if what you say is true. I'm not aware of a light spored bluing mushroom, other than some mycena species, which this isn't.
some boletes blue deeply and have (olive)brown spore prints, but what you have has gills, so that's out.
