 Shroom Identifcation Help (South East Queensland, Australia)

So this was my first time Shroom hunting, and i came across a nice cluster near/on a few cow patties in South East Queensland. I'm not 100% sure what they are, and i would rather not kill myself eating them. So i am kindly asking for your assistance in the identification on whether or not they would kill me, or if they are the 'magic mushrooms'. Thankyou very much.
Location: South East Queensland (Near Gympie)
Habitat: Found near/on Cow Poo.
Top: 
Stem/Side:  
I found more then that, they are also all quite heavy in weight. I found them all in the same cluster, but some have much larger caps, does this mean they are different?
But mainly, will these cause a trip, or will they kill me?

sounds/looks like some sort of Panaeolus species.
dont know wich one though, might be Panaeolus cinctulus.
if so, you are in luck my friend. but you should not eat anything just because i say so, im just getting started in mycology.

Thanks for the help. Anymore identifying help would be really great, as i would love to eat these before they go rotten and what not. As i dont have have the required items to dry them (as silly as that sounds).

They definitely won't kill you.
Get a spore print just to verify that it's black/purple. Make sure that everything you picked has the same characteristics (size isn't a big issue as long as it's not a HUGE difference). Filling out a proper ID request would be very helpful for those of us hoping to identify your mushrooms.
That being said, I do think it is Panaeolus cinctulus.

Panaeolus cinctulus will have jet black spores not black/purple. Its lookalike Panaeolina foenisecii will have brown to ambiguous dark spores (If it looks like it may not be quite jet black, it isn't).
