 Central Florida Mushroom Species (ID Request)

Habitat: Central Florida cow pasture, semi-wooded area after real heavy rains. Growing directly out of poops.
Gills:
The gills started out a grayish-brown color but after being out for an hour or so have turned a darker brown/black. The gills don't appear to be attached to the stem.
Stem:
The stems are rather long (up to six inches or so) they're fairly thin and are sort of a mix of gray/brown/reddish. The stems appear to be solid all the way through.
Cap:
The caps are pretty basic, mostly rounded off cone shapes.
Spore print color:
I'm still waiting on this one but they suspect they will be black.
Bruising:
After airing out for a bit the mushroom's cap appears to bruise a very dark blue to black.
They smell pretty damn shroomy.
I wanted an ID on these because there's a whole lot more of them this season than cubes, though i might as well check!

You have Panaeolus, maybe Panaeolus papilionaceus var. parvisporus.
Check them carefully for blue staining that would indicate that you have Panaeolus cyanescens.

I'm really not seeing any particularly blue staining, certainly not that you'd see with cubes. I did just notice that one of the larger ones has an almost iridescent coppery tone to its stem.
I definitely saw ones with similar bodies but a lighter cap, light brown center, whitish edges.
It really is tough to identify these fuckers out in the fields 
Edit: Would it be frowned upon to make a post of just a big collection of species I found out in the field? There's gotta be at least 20 or so varieties of mushrooms out in and around this pasture. It'd be cool to know what they were regardless if I could eat em.
