 Indentify this shroom!

Habitat:
Was found in pasture on horse dung by a friend.
Gills:
Dark brown gills (It was picked a week ago though.), no stem so Im not sure if they were attached or not. Most likely not attached though.
Stem:
Not sure.
Cap:
No idea for the size range, but this one seems to be 3 inches in diamater.
Cream white color, brownish gold on the rim with black specs resembling mold all over it. (It might actually be mold haha.)
Mostly smooth with some creases.
My friend said the caps were flattened and somewhat wavy.
Spore print color:
Cap is too old and unusable for a spore print.
Bruising:
Was picked a week ago so no idea.
My friend brought this quarter of a cap to me to identify it. I'm doubting that it has any hallucinogenic value. The closest shroom it resembled was a dried out psilocybe azurescens that I saw on Erowid. Forgot to mention it was found in Northeast Alabama.
Best picture I could get. Camera phone...

i don't think you are going to get very far with the idetification of this... pieces of dried out mushroom aren't the best to work with... 
i doubt it is hallucinogenic.

I wouldnt worry about trying to ID this specimen, it seems to far gone to tell what it is.
Also your missing the stipe and that can be important when ID'ing mushrooms.
Even if it were active, which its not, why would you want to eat sum pieces of a mushroom you found in such bad condition?
You could get sick from eating moldy mushrooms also,

I figured so. It's not dried out completely though. It will bend without breaking. I think it has been in a ziplock since he picked it.

Well he has a whole pasture full of these. He just brought me a piece to see if I could tell what it was. If it was anything good I was gonna get more.

Dont every put mushrooms in plastic bags when they are wet or have any moisture in them at all.
It will make them rot, turn to liquid(depending on species), and both of those things are bad.
Use paper bags, i stop in stores all the time and offer to pay a dollar for 10 paper bags, nobody makes me pay but i think its nice to offer.
Also when you get your mushrooms home use a fan to dry them out properly.
