 Habitat: Horse field/Hay pasture in Southeast. Growing in degraded horse manure and composted grass/hay.
Gills: Color ranges from lighter brown/grey to very dark brown. Younger/fresher=lighter color.
Stem: Stem length 2.5-inches to 4-5-inches, diameter = 1/4 to 1/2 inch, color = white/cream, texture = smooth, hollow/solid = Hollow in older ones, sometimes thicker or semi-solid.
Cap: Diameter = 3/4-inch to 3.5-inch, color = light to golden brown, texture = smooth/spongey, shape ranges from slightly conical to flat, sometimes convex.
Spore print color: Spore print is dark brown/slightly purple.
Bruising: Does not seem to bruise at all.
Other information: Mushroom smells and looks like the ones I used to find in cow pastures in on the southeast coast (US). Kinda like dirt/algae.
This is my first post, so, Hi everyone! Thanks for any assistance. I hope I met the guidelines well.

My guess is Stropharia ambigua.

Thanks! I'm doing a little research but cannot find a definite answer. If these are Stropharia coronilla or Ambigua, are they Poisonous or Active or edible?

Thanks! It's been 20 years or so since I was in the Fla cow pastures picking. I've thoroughly enjoyed hunting again. This may be a good one to start experimenting with.
