Hi pouihi, I am quite sure my spotting is not that of Dermocybe austroveneta. I've seen D.austroveneta and you can't mistake them - they are a gorgeous green with a fatter, yellowish stipe. Here's a spotting my husband did - he beat me to it !!

D.austroveneta grow on the ground and the mushrooms in my spotting were on a decaying log.
I believe this spotting might be a Psilocybe ( ? subaeruginosa)- I need to look at one more resource before I confirm this. Thank you again for having a look at this.
