Magic Mushrooms: Is this mushroom a Liberty Cap?

Hello, earlier today I went out in search for Liberty Caps, and I was wondering if any fellow shroom hunters can help identify this shroom I found.
Habitat: Grassland in which sheep where held.
Gills: The colour of the gills are dark brown with slightly white edges
Stem: I accidentally snapped the stem while picking it. The stem is also very shiny and slick.
Cap: The diameter is around 1.1-1.2cm. The colour of the cap is slightly pale, but is slightly dark around the edges. The texture is smooth and almost slippery to touch. It has a tiny little pink nipple on the top of the cap, and the rest of the cap is round, like half of a sphere.
Spore print color: I'm afraid I do not know what this is.
Bruising: It has bruised slightly, it looks sort of brown when bruised.
Other information: The smell of the mushroom is like a faint regular mushroom. Here are some images. (sorry for the bad quality)

Hard to tell. With bad pictures, spore print is important. The term spore print really explained itself to me the first time I heard it, but it is the result of placing the cap on paper, gills down, to produce a print of spores.
That being said, they are Panaeolina foenisecii most likely, and will produce a brown print.

Panaeolina foenisecii. Please in the future try to take focused photographs in natural light, these are not sufficient for any kind of identification.

Thankyou for checking them out. The spore print turned out to be black. Can I still eat this shroom for a good high?

no its not active
-------------------- Pain is temporary. It may last for a minute or an hour or a day or even a year but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it will last forever.

The picture isn't great, but I can still tell it is brown.
