 What do baby cubes look like?

Hey everyone. I am new to this site and so far it is awesome. I have access to a few thousand acres of cow farm land and felt inspired to go digging through poop, for fun...
I am completely new to all of this poop digging, but I have spent some hours researching, learning and yes even reading the readme:noob guide sticky here.
From what I understand cubes do grow where I live but the weather has been fairly dry. The ground is more or less like charcoal... As I was leaving a nice amount of water came down and it got chillier so hopefully tommrow I can find something truly interesting.
What I am wondering is this, digging through many dried cakes of shit I was only able to find this:
http://www.vulomedia.com/images/50707question.jpg
So what do little "baby" cubes look like (moreover what do baby mushrooms look like)?
This is located in a field, it is a piece of dung (older and hard).
The pictures, I know, suck but it's my phone since I forgot the camera elsewhere (sorry).
There were a few "sprouts" that were white and seemed to be connected to somewhere central. The sprouts (of which I took one, and pictured) definitely had a cone shape (until I got wet and accidently smushed the one I took a picture of).
The sprout was very white at first but then became kinda brown...
I know this nothing exciting and I'm not expecting someone to tell me "Yes this is P. cube" Just want to know if I am on the right track so far looking for mushrooms or am I just looking at a plant (of which I found many growing in the mounds).
Thanks for helping out a hopeless!
~Peace
P.S. What's the technical name of what those little white things would be if they were infact some kind of mushroom? Mycellium?
P.P.S. If those were mushrooms am I killing them by kicking and flipping over their dung?

Im pretty sure thats not a baby cube. It likes like a type of random Panaeolus. But its really hard to give a good guess with those pictures. Look on cow poo in pastures a day or so after a good rain. Where are you located?

dont look like cube in your pic.
baby cubes look like white buttons with red/brown pimples, turning into "pins" witch look like a small uncircumcised penis. baby cubes also look like a hole mess of other baby mushrooms. you must wait until they mature for an id.
ur pic looks like a balloon mushroom,
let the pins grow, tampering with them will kill the growth, if you were to carefully bruise the myc or pin and see if it blues it would be a great indicator to return in a day or three.

I live in the Dominican Republic. Tropical down here.
So it at least resembles a mushroom? That's good news, I was beging to doubt we even had any kind of fungi down here.
Am I right that if these were cube after 24 hours after a rain and a cold night they would be ready to be cut? Also, so no harm in kicking over the pie?

kicking the pie eather killed it or at least stunted its growth,
dont eat anything with out a 100% id first, but yes go collect pics of mushies, print them, and by they way a good pic is needed for a good id!

yah dont kick the patties. You could pick the cubes whenever you want to but i would allow them to mature or at least get big enough to make it worth taking the mushroom.

You might be able to find some panaeolus cyanescens down there also. Do a search of the forums here and you can find pics of both cubes and pans, happy hunting!
