Hey guys, this is my first post so please have mercy. I am trying my best to follow the guidelines and I am here for the long haul to learn, like everyone else. I would appreciate any positive ID's and help/advice. looking forward to chatting with you all soon! thank you!
Habitat: South Central Louisiana. Mainly horse pasture. Temps lately have been around 70 at night, 80 during the day. Found growing on top of and around horse manure.
Gills: The gills on the two larger specimens were dark purple, the largest mushroom was a slightly lighter purplish color.
Stem: The stems of the larger specimens bruised a dark blue almost immediately. Very soft and easily depressed to the touch.
Cap On the two larger one's that I am almost sure are psilocybin cubes, they had a very distinct nipple on the top. Golden color at the center fading to white, then to dark blue along the outer edges. One was about 4 inches fresh, the other large was app. three. There is also two or three smaller one's with the same traits.
Spore print color: Number one and Number 2 were a purple/blue sport print. And most of the smalls one were the same, a few a very dark blue/purple.
Bruising: Almost every mushroom pictured bruised blue. The specimens I was completely unsure of I did not even keep.
Other information: I also am going to attach many photographs/spore prints that may help you guys ID what I have. I sincerely appreciate and help or guidance given.

You have Psilocybe cubensis for sure, but it's important to be able to see the whole mushroom including stems for the rest. I think the rest are a mix Panaeolus species...but cyanescens seems likely from your description. Any pics of the stems?

1 and 2 are almost definitely Psilocybe cubensis. Maybe even #11

I wish you would in future make a separate description for each species.
The two large specimens look to be Psilocybe cubensis.
#11 looks also to be the cap of an imature P. cubensis.
the rest appear to be some Panaeolus or other for the pale ones and I have no idea what for the chestnut ones.
Keep your collections separate. It's good practice and it dramatically reduced the chance of making a mistake in general.
It also makes identification assistance easier for some of us
--------------------
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.

Thank you sir! No, in my hurry to try and get this on this forum I forgot to put those in! But i do have permission from the land owner to pick his pasture. So next time I'll have more photographs and separate the species.

Thank you for your input and suggestions! And next time I well def separate the species. I read about separating them and ID separate species after i had took the photos and started the drying process.
And I have been hunting about 8 times now. This was the first time I've had the owners permission so I actually got to take my time. And i will try again next time to post the correct way. Practice makes perfect. And thank you!
