Liberty Caps ID and questions

Hello Everyone,
I have been browsing the forums a lot but never needed to post anything until today. Went out to look for my first liberty caps. Have doing a lot of research and I believe I was lucky but I wanted to check with you guys. As I type the spores are falling on a blank piece of paper...
Here are some pics I have made of the mushrooms and of the habitat I found them in: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3ozcq7rpbpy2uev/2013-10-10%2018.34.47.jpg

Unfortunately I can't get any better closeups with my smartphone... Here are some more details.
Habitat: I found them in a kind of grassland. Sheeps are not directly on that field but some hundreds metres away.
Gills: Purplish
Stem: between 3-9cm in lenght, 1mm diameter, White to light brown color.
Cap: 0,5-1,5cm diameter, from light to a bit darker brown color, texture, conical with a nipple.
Spore print color: Will be seeing this in the morning.
PS: any tips on how to dry these mushrooms? I only have experience with drying cubensis. On a piece of paper and then i place them in a container with desiccant. But is this necessary with these ones? I have them on a piece of newspaper for the moment, but they seem to get a bit sticky to it... Any suggestion is welcome.

They are libs for sure. Dry them on newspaper in front of a fan.

They look right to me, wait for a T.I though. As for drying a fan blowing over them may speed up the process. DAMMIT Ganzig

Please, upload your pictures here to place them in your post or use the image tag to embed them from a proper image hosting service.
I'd love to take a look at your finds, but I'm tired of dropbox links for the day.

Thanks guys for the quick responses.
I don't have a fan here, I have placed them between two sheets of paper for the moment at room temp. Hopefully they'll dry soon.
I have tried uploading my pictues, but it doesn't work. I place the URL in the box but it's always a blank... Any tips are welcome...

except while they may be sopping wet, placing them between paper will only retard airflow and slow drying.
