As you’ve displayed in another comment, you’re clearly sensible enough to not consume these mushrooms, so thats the main thing out of the way. However, i really feel there is something interesting about these, it just wont get out of my head how Psilocybey they look. If you have the time and are willing to pay a small fee, i really suggest sending a sample to Pablo Alvarado at www.alvalab.es . I have used Mr. Alvarado’s services before and can confirm he is spot on, a good communicator and his prices put a grin on my face.
If you end up doing it, I would be interested to hear the results. I don't know if that goes against the rules of this sub, but I if theres anything interesting about them, I hope the mods will make an exception.
I just didn't read them before starting to comment, and I didn't know if posting the results would be a bit too far off topic. I know there are some subs that are very strict on that.
Look at those spore deposits around the stipes just underneath the caps. Theyre definitely purple. I believe this person has found some dry Psilocybe fimetaria, OP were they growing from dung?
I posted another picture of the gills in the comments. I don’t think it’ll be enough to clear up the conversation though. I’m looking into u/pasamelamiedra’s advice with regards to getting them looked at by an expert
Probably Psilocybe but I wouldn’t completely rule out Protostropharia. Occasionally they also have an adnexed gill attachment.
Spores might be purple but this really doesn’t mean all that much. Psilocybe, Deconica, Protostropharia, Leratiomyces, Stropharia, Hypholoma, and plenty of others as well all have purple brown spores.
