Newbie lookin' for ID help on (maybe) Liberty Cap

Hi guys!
I just moved in Rila mountain, Bulgaria to live and work, so i'm starting to get to know the local flora. I'm a bit confused if i should ask local people about these dudes i found, so i'm gonna start from here and beg for help 
So these are what i found:

Habitat: I found them on a mountain pasture where cow, sheep, goat, horse and sometimes deer eat and sh... 1200m altitude, mostly growing on the soil around fresher dung (not on it)

These pastures are known as the "Shroom valley"
Gills: Dark brown for the left ones and brighter grey on the right. Both are not attached.
Stem: Mostly around 3 cm and very thin in diameter for both.
Cap: From 1 to 2 cm in diameter, the left ones have a bit of a nipple, the right ones don't.
Spore print color: Still waiting for it
Bruising: Can't tell...
They are still fresh and if any more info is needed i can supply fast.
Thank you very much and god bless this forum!

Protostropharia semiglobata on the right, and an (as of yet) unidentified species on the left, the same one I found last year.

Mushrooms in that link are very likely the same ones you have, but are not P. strictipes, that collection is obviously misidentified. Probably, there isn't much info on that species. As I said, neither here nor on Mushroom observer, nobody was able to identify my collection any further than 'maybe a Stropharia or Psilocybe'.

Okay then.. ending the newbie quest.
Only my last question about them - how poisonous can they be?

There is 99% chance they are not toxic at all.

I have to mention that it's never advisable to eat unidentified mushrooms, just to cover myself, but I do believe you'll be perfectly fine. Please report back.

eating them is foolish. even if they were an active species of Psilocybe... there is not enough there to do anything with. you should have dried them and saved them microscopy. now, you nor anyone else will ever know for sure what they were...
with that being said, they look like they might be Stropharia luteonitens... which was once known as Psilocybe luteonitens. which, is known to grow around your area in pasture-lands.

I know i should'nt have eaten them, but i had to know if they are eatable.. because there are a lot more where they came from 
with what i ate ..there was this weed like high.. a bit of a confusion about where the hell i am and some lightning efects at the edge of eyesite. Didn't last long thou.. started 30 mins after eating and ended in another 30 minutes. No stomach trouble so i guess tommorow i go out for them again. Will save some for testing! 
Thank you very much for everything!
