you have found mycenas of some kind.
--------------------
Along a path I walk this night, clear to no other eyes than mine.
In faerie circles perchance I might, hope Elven honey bread to find.
Over stream and tangled root I leap, o'er bough and slumbering badger's keep.
Under hoary oak and willow I bound, to find such groves as can be found,
the sating mushrooms; spring's delight, as gifts from figures of the night.

from the looks of it, those may all be the same species, but they are all Mycenas.

Lots of mushies have nipples but it is a good indicator, also yes they have dark gills a lot darker then the ones you have and when Libs are wet they have a very brown appearance. Have a look on some of the other Lib posts for better reference.

I was pretty sure that libs have darker gills. I search for mushies with darker gills. Last question I dont pick in a cow/sheep/animal pasture. I read you can still find em but, its easier in pastures.
So it is still possible to find libs not in pastures but grassy fields?
Cause I pick like a school field.
