Mulch and Elephant Dung

Have attached pic for identification.  I found mushrooms that were growing out of mulch as well as elephant dung.  They were found in Hawaii; it did not rain the day before but the first three were in mulch that was watered.  For both cases, the stem is white, hollow, and anywhere from 3-8 mm in diameter.  For both cases as well, the mushrooms are in height from 1-4 inches.  All of them are very delicate, it seems to me that they did bruise, but the dung ones more readily than the mulch ones.  The caps are also very delicate; in fact, if they are a bit wet, it seems they can just slime away.  The dung ones are covered in a black slime after picking.  Neither set of mushrooms has an offensive smell, besides a mild and run-of-the-mill fungus-y.  Lastly, the mulch set of mushrooms seem to be two different species.  Thoughts?  The pic is of the elephant dung mushroom.  Can try to post more but I could only find a way to attach one pic.
Also, when it asks for spore color and identification, I am not sure what that means,  Can someone explain?
Much thanks!

It's a bit hard to collect spore prints from coprinoids whose strategy it is to reproduce by - once matured - turning their caps into an inky goo oozing into the ground along with its spores.
That's a Coprinopsis species, possibly Coprinopsis lagopus. It's a very common inky cap growing all around the globe.
