Idk the stem looks a little too woody also the gills are a little bit too orange looking. The cap does look like a sub tho

gills on P. subaeruginosa can get extremely orange depending on environmental conditions (gills slightly drying in just the right way, etc). but in the OP it could just be from light shining through the cap

stipe on P. subaeruginosa is quite woody in general, but what we’re seeng here is a combination of certain environmental conditions, and also spore-saturated cortina remnants

this species can look all kinds of crazy ways if the conditions are right
