Found these outside my dentist's office!

Ok, I had to go to the dentist a few days ago and they have a really nice manicured lawn. There was a dead tree stump outside and I thought, Oh mushrooms, and I found 3 medium caps about 1 foot from the stump, habitat was wet, the grass was vibrantly green, st augustine maybe? the soil was wet and wen pressure was applied to the soil it collapsed down, spongy w/ lots of organic matter, Sorry I couldn't get a pic.
The mushrooms are brown and have very delicate tissue, the stems dried up before i was able to get a decent picture of them, you can see some white mycilium on one of them, they were thin about 1/10 inch thick and looked fibery and somewhat iridescence, the sheen on the internal fibers depended on your position in relation to light, like a fly's body, there were no abnormalities on the stem, just a plain straight stem, hollow that did not release a sap. Gills do not touch stem, the cap is very triangular with a brown spot in the middle, not distinct but faded in. the black marks on one of the pictures are tweezer damage.
The spore printd are black and quite distinct.
Any species suggestions, I think these might be active but the stems are a bit thin shouldn't they be 1/8 inch thick or so?
Oh also, for colour comparison that red card board is a Mcdonald's french fry carton =)

Thats my camera, It tends to mess up colours. they are actually kind of an ash grey to black colour, almost like you crushed some wood ash and wiped a bit of it away.

It's fine, can you take another and post it on here? It would help a lot. Can you take a microscope to the print and find out the exact color? It looks like a either panaeolus foenisecii or Psilocybe semilanceata. What state do you live in? Does it have any blueish bruising? DO NOT EAT THEM WITHOUT AN ID FROM A TRUSTED IDENTIFIER!!

I dont think they are a Psathyrella species, they have white-brown hygrophanous sections on their caps which dry to opeque white, not brown like mine.
more stem pics, call them what you want, perhaps a small about of whitish blue bruised sections, then again I am biased for them being active . also, 2 of the spore prints look more brown upon further inspection, however one looks to be ash black
I think you might be right about a panaeolina species, but could I have a diffrent type of mushroom for the one black one? they were not RIGHT next to eachother?
I am in northeast oklahoma

If the one print is blacker than Wesley Snipes it's a Panaeolus.

they are indeed darker, kindof like this
http://www.impakt.net/~tyler/subbs/664729989-compairison.jpg
except they are a bit closer to the middle, the darkest one is just lighter than the black one in the pic, and the lightest ones are just a bit darker than the one in the pic.
I suspect these are either active, or inactive and nontoxic, I wouldent want to test that theory

It seems that as the spores got more brown after dehydration, they are like those in the link in my previous post
BTW if I didnt mention it I am in northeast oklahoma

indeed non toxic,pan foes can be aggrevating, i have found them with slightly red stems also, but there has to be no doubt in your mind they are JET BLACK spore prints, use a black marker to compare, if there is any slight bifference then its a foe and no a subb. also u only have 3 mushrooms and if they were subbs that wouldnt do squat. i hunted subbs in CT and have handled more then a thousand foes and subbs, i garuntee yours a foes(inacitve and not toxic)

the gill placement is worng, they should be more tightly pack, pan subbs have a distinct look after u have handled them lots of times, also the spore print is very brown and not black. keep hunting and good luck my friend

Thanks, Well, it was interesting, I think I subconsciously wanted them to be black, I hate the power of suggestion
