ID Request - SE Sub Melb Australia

Hey guys, I went for a cruise this afternoon in search of some actives. Ive only been out 3-4 times without any luck (in-actives, sometimes none. ) So I was hoping you guys could help us out and try to ID these for me.
Area - SE subs, warm winter day, side of dirt road, damp/dark, pines nearby but not where mushies were found.
Appearance:
1. Dark orange caps with orange speckled stems and dark greyish gills. (4 found) 2. Small grey pointed (cone shaped) cap with light gray stem and light grey gills. Patterning on top of caps. (1 found)

 3. Aged possibly active shroom with heavy speckeled blueing on stem, very dark cap (shriveled)

Any help would be appreciated. ( Hope the pics turn out okay )

In the first pic, the one on the left is a Laccaria. To the right at the bottom is a Mycena and then the red ones to the right of that are Stopharia aurantiaca.
That last one that is turning blue is really interesting and it might be an active Psilocybe, but its a bit too old to tell for sure. Post some pics of a fresher specimen.

Yeah, check back at the spot with the potentially active mushroom and see if any more show up in a couple days.

Il ask some melbourneites to check out your bluing shroom It does not look active but I'm not saying it cant be, the bluing around the stem to me seems like it could be spores but then again it might not be, if you still have it can you notice any more bluing? has the mycelium turned blue ?
where was it found, like grass, mulch, growing from wombat poo, its freezing here at the moment, so if it is active it could be only a few types that love the cold, melb does not usually sprout many actives besides the obvious, interesting find

That last one is unlikely to be active, it is hard to tell what it is because of its condition, id say juke is right about the bruising possibly being spore

Yeah that bottom one is a bit dubious. The fact that it's base is such a brown-orange colour is off-putting. It seems the colour is likely to be from spores more than anything. Or potentially, like some of the Cortinarius', it could just be blue but not actually bruise blue. At any rate, don't eat it.

That bottom one in pic2 MIGHT be Psilocybe subaeruginosa, blue on the veil? But I wouldn't eat any of them.
