ID Request - Possible P Semi?

Hey Everyone,
Long time lurker and first time poster as of today. Been on about 6 bunk hunts (this being my first year ever hunting around for actives) and finally today I think I may have stumbled into some luck.
Species #1: P. Semi (Lib Caps) ?
Full Gallery: http://imgur.com/a/vMQYD The first pics show the area and habitat that I was picking in along with a full finds shot and then larger close-ups of the shrooms on the sheet.
Pic 1 - All 97 Finds http://i.imgur.com/srtEz1E.jpg
Pic 2 - Close-ups of 1-10 http://i.imgur.com/4EgDXxp.jpg
Pic 3 - Close-ups of 1-10 Gills http://i.imgur.com/MMf4L1M.jpg
Habitat: Tall Grassy Fields near a natural lake and a river with lots of Alder, Maple, Birch.
Gills: All appear greyish/brown with adnexed formation
Stem: approx 40~90cm in length takes on a brown tinge towards the middle and some of the more mature ones have a purplish/blueish tinge to them where the mycelium is still connected at the base
Cap: approx .7~2.2cm in diameter nice "nipple" signature mark on most of them
Bruising: Hard to say... Doesn't seem to change too much.
General location: Located in the Greater Portland Area (PNW)
Spore Print: Coming Soon. Just started the process and will edit again with more pics when they are done.
Thanks for any help with ID'ing these bad boys!!

They appear to be Psathyrella, inedible.

@jet li - Definitely not Psathyrella. I know the pictures are not the best and the lighting is sub-par but I'm working with what I got here lol.
@Alan Rockerfeller - I thought they were mycena as well too until I found some actual ones in the area with noticeably white gills and spores. Is the biggest difference between the two mainly found in the spore sprint color and formation? I've seen many mycena in the area but I also made sure to look up a list of all local species to the area/region/habitat to cross reference for elimination purposes when I was out scouting today.
Thanks for the help!
Edit: I should also note that the flavoalba is extremely white compared to these and the cap formation is different.

The cap texture and stem texture is different, also the way the gills change color when the spores mature is different.

I am totally not trying to sound rude, and your pictures aren't all that great, but hey at least you tried, but if you are so sure about them not being Psathyrella, I would assume you'd know all the differences between Mycena species and Psilocybe semilanceata.

--------------------
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.
