Little Brown Mushroom, CT - Panns?

Habitat: Growing on a well cared for lawn, no trees or other plants on this patch.
Gills: Chocolate brown gills
Stem: Long, and centrally inserted with a solid feel. Kind of thin, with a sandy color. Seems to have lines, almost like it were made of wound fibers
Cap: Diameter varies, color was brown, two tone in the younger specimens, almost solid in the larger. Looks alot like the Pan Foes I've found on countless lawns.
Cap appears to be campanulate, but I'm still learning the proper terms so I could be wrong
Spore print color: Quite black, see pictures
Bruising: None observed
Other information: Smells like a pleasant mushroom when fresh, a little like urine when dry. See pictures for more info.

Thanks for the pic, the color is definitely right on the spore print. Did you notice your stipe has some bluing in the photo?
As for a TI, I imagine Alan or Curecat will be along when they have time

yes some faint blueing i haven't had the patience to look for lawn cincts personally and go straight for the dung heaps where i know what to look for without having to print most of what i find. the lawn you found these in probably fertilizes with manure of some kind. if that's the case, that would be a very good thing

look like Panaeolus cinctulus to me to, black print, zones of color around margin, fiber on stipe not straight, and stipe color redish brown, not white Still wait for a trusted identifier to look at.

Nobody else is interested in taking a crack at these? I guess the title "Little Brown Mushroom" is scaring people away ;D

The spore print looks right for Panaeolus cinctulus. I'd say that's what they are. Please try to improve your photo skills.

i live in rhode island and i find the same ones all the time. but i find them mixed in with pan. foen. they have a slight bluing but very faint at the bottom of the stem. and they smell pretty gross when dried... but i thought they were all subbs at first but they left darker and lighter spore prints. meanwhile they got all mixed up and i still have them dried.... i can get more ... but i guess i would have to try them in order to know if theyre active.... i dont have photos but theyre the same ones. any ways should i just eat them and find out since i cant figure out how to get pics to go from my cell phone to my computor yet.. and i kinda feel like in butting in on someone elses pics.... sorry... but let me know if they were subbs or not. if u find out for sure because it would help me become more determined of a shroomer

They grow in the same habitat, so what you describe is perfectly possible. The ones that blue at the base are Panaeolus cinctulus for sure. Take a spore print of those you are not sure about. If it isn't jet black, but rather blackish-brown then it's Panaeolina foenisecii. It's no tragedy if you mix in an occasional foe with your subbs, in that case you'll just have to eat more to feel the effects, of course, but they aren't in any way toxic.
