Help Identifying please. (Northern MS)

Hello, I'm new here. I live in Northern Mississippi. It's usually pretty humid here from spring to fall and we get tons of rain. Anyways, we had a pretty good little rain storm the other day so I decided to go look around a little and see what I could find.
I have never been but I know a few things to look for. Caramel coloring, blue bruising, a veil on the stem, a nipple or pointed cap. And yes, I understand this doesn't apply to all psilocybes.
But there is a little patch of grass and mulch behind my apt that the sun doesn't reach all day and after a good rain I noticed these mushrooms always popping up.
Now I have had cultivated shrooms before and man these look just like the ones I had! With the exception of no veil and they dont bruise blue. But man do they look similar.
I apologize for the crappy quality of the pics. My roommate has the nice camera but he is at work right now. I will upload some better ones when he gets off later. But if anyone could give their input on the pics below I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks
p.s. and please no rude comments. If you dont have something nice or helpful to say please just dont comment. Thanks.

Could you try and get a better picture of the bluing? Does the camera have a symbol on the mode dial? You can get a closeup if yoiur camera has macro mode

Yeah, I'm sorry for the quality :\ my roommate has my nice camera and he is at work right now. When he gets home I will upload some really high quality ones.
But as far as I can tell there isn't any bruising that I can see.. I know a lot of psilocybes bruise blue though.

I thought you mentioned they bruised blue. Regardless, is there any decaying wood in that spot? Those look like the deadly Galerina marginata which has been popping up all over the eastern US the past couple weeks.

No, there isnt any blueing. Sorry if I said there was. Well, actually now that I'm looking at them in the daylight I can see where I broke the stem, it is significantly darker than the rest of the stipe. Like a really dark brown. But they were growing in the shade in a mulch pile that is still really moist from the rain.

They might be Agrocybe on second examination. Regardless, they're not active.
