Conocybe Velutipes/Kuehneriana?

Went out hunting today out at the edge of the woods with a friend, on the way to some fields and came across hundreds of little greyish brown to light tan mushrooms. We decided to fill a tub on the bases that they were very similar to Conocybe Velutipes from what we'd seen and researched, some dissimilarities in colour but we attributed that to heavy rain.
Habitat was edge of woodland, around trees in grassy areas, some were on wood but looked slightly different, we only picked the ones in the grass. colour is greyish brown, more brown as they dry. smaller ones are lighter and more dome shaped caps, some caps were almost completely flat. Stems were longer than most in the pictures. Very slight nipple on some of the caps. Caps have many dark brown lines down them. Spore print hasn't been taken yet.
Have we found psychedelic shrooms at last? or should we go out again to the fields for some libs?
Apologies for the poor picture quality, I'm saving for a better camera

I'd go with Mycena, no way are these Conocybe or Pholiotina.

Damn, thought we were on to something, but yeah you're probably right, we'll go out again and hunt for libs. Is it possible that these are poisonous? We washed our hands after touching the shrooms but just checking if we should again to be sure

There are no mushrooms that will poison you from just touching them, you can even taste deadly mushrooms as long as you are sure to not swallow. These could be poisonous and contain something like muscarine, or maybe not. 
The latex from some Suillus spp. are said to cause a bad reaction in some individuals when touched, I haven't experienced this myself though.
