Liberty Cap Identification?

Hey guys! I am an amateur shroomer, and I am looking for some advice. I have been studying long and hard on mushrooms over the past few months, and I have finally made the big step to go out and collect a few! I just wanted to get your all's advice on whether these are the infamous "liberty caps", and if they aren't lib caps, what type they are 
[[I DO NOT plan on eating them before I find out exactly what they are. Even then, I am going to do more studying before I take that step. I have tripped before, but I am very wary of the fact I could potentially kill myself delving in to this hobby. So please don't worry about me being too irresponsible ]]
Anyways,
Here is all the information I think I can give for the time being (if I have forgotten anything, please let me know): -Location collected: Southern Sweden, in a lawn with longer grass and plenty of deer and other animals frolicking about -Spore Print: Currently in process. I will post the spore print as soon as I can, but I would like to wait a few more hours to get fairly vivid print. -Texture: The caps of the mushrooms were fairly sticky--they stuck together and stuck to the grass.
Photographs: My apologies if they are really large photographs.
Photograph 1:
 Here they are together in a group. They all seem to be the exact same species.
Photograph 2:
 So you can see the gills.
Photograph 3:
Compared sizes to a standard lighter.
Photograph 4:
 I took a single one more closely so you can see the shape of the cap more clearly. They all have similar shapes, including the nipple on top.
Photograph 5:
This one is just for an additional reference I suppose.
Thanks you guys in advance, I'm looking forward to learning something new today!

--------------------
Attn PWN hunters: If you should come across a bluing Psilocybe matching P. pellicolusa please smell it. If you detect a scent reminiscent of Anethole (anise) please preserve a specimen or two for study and please PM me.
