Psilocybe subaeruginosa????? Maybe please help

Hi, I found some mushrooms in my garden today (Queensland, Australia) that look very much like Psilocybe subaeruginosa - however i am a novice and cannot tell if they are the real thing or potentially a poisionous lookalike (possibly GALERINA AUTUMNALIS). I would really appreciate it if anyone could help me identify them so I know whether or not to eat them - They are NOT showing any blue colour at all which sounds like it could be a worry???
Hope to hear from you soon.
 Thanks

None of those really look like subaeruginosa to me

They're not subaeruginosa, they don't grow in QLD as far as i know. And even down south they're a winter shroom only. They're not anything active and could be poisonous.
You need to link the photos from your gallery so everyone can see them. There's UBB code you can copy and paste in the gallery.
You also need to read the rules for posting an ID request and put in all the required information. Particularly spore print, habitat, gill description.

Yeah google is your friend.
It's no doubt not impossible - mushrooms don't respect state borders - but you need constant temps below 10 degrees, which is rare even in Sydney.
But you should forget subs and be out looking for cubes and copes.

You will have to learn how to do some things if you wish to continue posting ID requests. They are relatively simple once you get the hang of it, and ensure that we can properly identify your mushrooms.
Please read the Mushroom Hunting Forum Rules before posting:

II. Accurate mushroom descriptions
It is critical that you describe mushrooms fully and accurately in order to get a proper identification.
A good picture of the mushrooms is invaluable, but not required. Along with the pictures YOU ARE REQUIRED to provide the following data:
* Habitat (where [woods, pasture, state,province,country, altitude] and what [soil, dung, wood (dead, living, what kind of wood?)] does it grow on) * Characteristics of the gills (color, attached/not, gills/pores, etc) * Characteristics of the stem (length, diameter, color, texture, hollow/solid, thin/thick, etc) * Characteristics of the cap (diameter,color, texture, conical/spherical, convex/concave, etc) * Spore print color (very important!) * Color that the mushroom bruises * Scent of the mushroom * Anything else you might find important
For a template ID request please see this thread.
For more detailed guidelines for describing your finds, please view this document.
For an explanation of mycological terms please refer to this document .
How To Upload Pix!!!

All of that said, I think your mushrooms are likely Psathyrella.

Hi what do you make of these? purple sporeprint for one, brown for other??... both blue stained, golden on top, white/brown stem stained blue and brown/purple gills. i am confident the purple spore print is magic but whats your idea on the brown? heard brown spore prints are almost always bad!

Please stop posting these in so many places, they have already been ID'd they are Psilocybe subaeruginosa.
