Heres some pics of them, they were growing in some dirt under my porch, I wouldn't say there's anything special its right next to my garden and there are some woodchips but it all loks old and not very nutritional they are growing in clusters unfortunately taking a pic of the cluster would be hard as its hard for me to see them even with my naked eye let alone take my whole computer to get a pic of them (My only camera is my webcam at the moment) But I have a spore print pic coming on the way as well.

Also the stems are hollow and they do not bruise blue the two mushrooms shown almost share a stem, and had some mycelium sticking to them when I pulled them up they came up fairly easily, and when I first noticed them I almost thought they were cubensis, little round red pinner caps, that formed into this lighter color as they opened over about a 2 day period.

I can tell you they are not psychedelic. I'm not positive on what they are, they are kind of old and dried out to id correctly plus no print, they almost look like some sort of inky though.
 
They aren't old... or dried out just fresh picked like as of today... and only about 24-36 hours old.
 
But how can you tell they aren't psychoactive already?
 
Spore print picture it is black mostly with what appears to be a hue of purple but that's really hard to see in the picture

Must be the picture then, the gills looked all smashed together in the picture but it just must be out of focus. Also the cap on the small one is all sun dried.

If they were psychoactive, they should stain blue. Not all will but most active mushrooms should. There are just certain things about it that don't look right to me, plus your description of the location is off. For example, the cap doesn't look familiar to anything active I've seen. Also, they were growing in dirt/wood chips and cubensis don't normally grow in those conditions. It doesn't look like a wood loving psilocybe either.

The spore print would be right if it was purple/black but it doesn't necessarily mean it is active just because it has a dark print.

Also, I'm mostly educated about mushrooms in the US, so be sure to do your own research if you aren't convinced with my ID. You should either way.
 
I thank you for your help and wasn't trying to sound rude or undermine what you stated just curious as to why you had said you thought it wasn't of course I will continue to do research and yes unfortunately the pictures do suck it isn't very woodchippy under the porch mostly dirt, and yes the small cap was fairly dried, the gills were kinda crammed together as well as you said. And its not just me seeing purple in the spore print my girl friends first reaction was "Woah that's weird it's indigo."
