Psathyrella candolleana or a similar species. Inactive but not toxic.

Probably Psathyrella species. Looks unusual. But it's not psychoactive.

Totally Psathyrella. The stems are a dead giveaway.

I think there's other species it can be, the cap colors don't look quite right, but its hard to tell when they're all beaten up and faded like that.

Nah mang. If you look at the caps you can notice the texture that would have a "fairy dust" appearance if they were more wet. Classic Psathyrella.

The center of the cap kind of has the P. hymenocephala color, maybe... I wouldn't be surprised if both names have more than one (sub-)species hiding in them. There are other names in Smith's keys to consider too, some of which I wouldn't be surprised are bs...

My bad. Although what are referred to as Psathyrella candolleana usually have the pixie dust caps. It is a key ID'ing feature, however, there is probably a number of unique species under the "candolleana" umbrella.
