Colombian shroom hunt - please help identify

Hi everyone,
So we heard that there is a good chance of finding shrooms at the place we were going to visit in Colombia. So today while doing a hike I occasionally went off track and started checking cow dung. And guess what, we were kinda lucky and found a few! With some I am sure that they are cubensis but with some I am not sure what they are. Here's a couple of pictures. The brownish ones were the head is wide open grew in the same cow dung as ones that looked like the real deal. The whiter ones grew close to cow shit but not exactly on it. Maybe a different kind?
Anyways, let us know what you think






Hope this is sufficient, if not let us now.
Cheers! PL

Ok, here we go. The twins (in the pic with the certified cubensis) might be what we are looking for as well, right? What about the rest?


I got a little overexcited. How much would you guess the total weight would be of the psychoactive ones (we don't have a scale neither are very experienced with the weight; small BIC lighter for reference)?
Another big thank you in advance.

1) Psathyrella or Panaeolus 2) Agrocybe or Pholiotina 3) Psathyrella, Stropharia, Agrocybe or Inocybe 4) Agrocybe pediades 5) Panaeolus or Psathyrella 6 - 7) Psilocybe cubensis 8) Coprinopsis
The twins are not Psilocybe, they are Psathyrella, Stropharia, Agrocybe or Inocybe.

Yes. They will have a dark purple brown spore print and stain blue where damaged.

Hola again,
After receiving a good hint from someone we went out again and here is what we have. I hope my positive feeling about these is not misplaced 
The one in the last two pics, we are (more) unsure about because he differs a little bit from the rest (not blue where damaged and the head isn't pointy in the center)






If they are p. cubensis do the ones that look less healthy contain less psychoactive substances (pic 2, 3 and 4)?
Last time I am going to bother you, promise

If they were slimey or sticky its probably a Strophria sp of a kind. Psilocybe almost always never have slimey or aricky textures. Except maybe in rain it may feel misleading.

Nah, these are Psilocybe cubensis.

They weren't slimey at all. I like Rockefeller's answer better ;-] Is the last one just a different "strain" of p. cubensis? It appears so different.

If it doesn't stain blue at all, it is probably Protostropharia semiglobata.
