First try at identification

While I was mushroom foraging yesterday, I spotted these.
 At first they looked like they might be panaeolus subbalteatus, infact I was excited, enough to pick both these bunches and take them home.

 But, I took a spore print and it turned up white, quite the opposite of the color I would have expected from weed panaeolus.
 So I disposed of them. Earlier this morning I looked around quite a bit online to try and find out what they could be, but I couldn't find a match. Does anyone have an idea of what they could be?

I wasn't doubting your ID, but if the species in question wasn't quite as obvious it would hard to tell if that print was white or brown. 
Only when coupled with the other data does it become more obvious that the color balance is off. More than anything I wanted to make sure it wasn't my eyes or my monitor!
As we know on here, it is usually the other way around. Someone says a print is one color, they post a picture showing another color, and we correct them citing confirmation bias!

lol I promise it is... Having expected black spores from pan. subbalteatus, the first spore print I took was on white paper, and I could hardly tell the spores were there. By then I knew they were white, but I did it over anyways, on blue paper. And of course, not as many spores were dropped the 2nd time.
