Specimens were taken for STUDY AND IDENTIFICATION.
There has already been an I.D made on these as Psilocybe subaeruginosa but worried as they are similar to Conocybe filaris(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conocybe_filaris) - DEADLY so would like a second opinion.
Habitat: Wood chips with dirt and fallen twigs and other leaf matter.
Gills: White, to milky colour, turned to a blue colour around the rim on the outside of underside of mushroom.
Stem: Milky Whitish, pretty fragile, blue bruising everywhere after picking, 1cm wide.
Cap: At time of picking had a dull orange to brown colour, shiny, smooth, 2 days after picking has turned milky white with blue bruising.
Spore print colour: Darkish Brown - slightly purple
Bruising: Blue wherever bruised.
Location: Eastern suburbs, Sydney Australia.

sorry for the poor image quality
The more colour the cap has the closer to when it was picked.
