 Liberty cap id request

Hey Guys, went out for the first few hours of the season and had little pickings. Found a few what I suspect are libs but want others clarified and the lib hopefuls confirmed.Found these all in mossy pastures with sheep grazing ect (n.ire), the first photo is the ones i suspect are libs, 2nd photo I reckon are pan foes but who knows, the last photo is what Im curious about, there was loads of these fellas about and i wouldnt have even picked them or suspected them of being libs but they had the thin membrane over the cap which I had heard was a trait of libs but never seen,
3rd species:stems seem to be bruising yellowish??? gills are white/lightish colour and stems also had gooey stuff dripping off them,stems white (almost translucent) was very wet when i was pickin. gills not attached in any of them
not gona add much more detail as i think the photos speak for themselves but thanks in advance for any help, hope to pick out maybe 10-15libs for a mini trip tonight
cheers

I can't really tell from the pictures cause they are kind of small. Did you notice if they had a pellicle (skin like covering) that you could separate from the cap when it was wet?

You'll have to post larger pictures. I think I see some libs in the top pic. I can't tell on the second one, but they look more like Conocybes and maybe a Panaeolus or two, and the third pic looks like Mycenas. You probably have some libs, but don't eat any until you can post a larger picture so we can make sure.

it's difficult to discern from those pics.
take some spore prints.

I would also do some spore prints to make sure. I do see one that looks like a lib but it's hard to tell with those small pictures. There are others in there that I'm not so sure about. 
The one I circled is the only one that looks like a lib to me. Get larger pictures for us. Macro if your camera can do it.

The last pic is a lib. And the top one I can't tell but it kind of looks like a younger lib and it does have the pellicle. Anyone else more experienced with P. semilanceata want to chime in?

the majority in this photo appear to be libs.
the one on the left and the smaller one towards the bottom look a little suspect, would be easier to tell if the pic was a little bigger

Not exactly, just really close. The pictured ones are Mycena. If you saw it in person you would notice some differences.
