Spore color?
It doesn't look like cyanescens.

I would say not cyanescens. Cap color is too light even for a dry cyan. Cap should be more of a tawny brown. Cap is not normally depressed in the middle, rather has an umbo (little bump). Should bruise dark blue / green, not brown. You should have found more then one of them has they tend to grow in groups.
Check this thread for some pics...

If it bruises blue and has purple spore prints. 95% chance it's an active Psilocybe. Gyms, amanitas, and others might have different attributes.
Professional identifiers please correct me if I'm wrong.
Good Luck.

If it bruises blue and has purple spore prints, the chance of it being an active Psilocybe is 100%.
