Stem: Thin off white/yellow stems
Cap: Range of Diameters light brown/gold fading to white
Spore print color: Black/dark purple will post pictures
Bruising: No noticeable bruising
Other information: No veil, and the smell is difficult to distinguish but is present

cant expand the images but it looks like psilocybe subaeruginosa to me.
best to wait for a trusted identifier to confirm it though.

yeah the image problem is a bit inconvenient, but i believe there's a 99% chance that those are magic mushies.
do they bruise blue? pinch one really hard and see if it changes colour. if it bruises blue then its 99.9999% a sub, but i'd still wait for a TI just to be perfectly safe.

I am pretty sure that species does not grow there. I think the only Psilocybe that does is Psilocybe cubensis.

I can't view the pictures either, so I can't give an opinion other than that.

For me it's difficult to say, but I can say that I would expect cubes to grow directly on dung. It's hard for me to see the pictures well. Sorry.

usually they grow right out of dung, sometimes nearby depending on how well fertilized that area has become over time
can't really id from your pictures, spore print is right, but you almost always see some bruising with cubes so that discredits the desired id a bit
good pictures would say it all, and northern florida is plagued with great hunting spots, so
good luck!

Thank you so much for the help everybody.Overall it was a good hunt although I did not see oxidation so I'm categorizing them as inactive, it is interesting to see the mycotic diversity of the Florida area.

Haha I was just having a laugh because subs only grow during Autumn/Winter in NZ and Australia and the mushrooms in question were found in Florida in summer!

true, but i've seen videos of people finding amanita muscaria in aus when they aren't 'supposed' to grow here, just kinda figured any genus can be found anywhere lol (which im probably wrong about).

Really?! I had no idea that Amanita muscaria weren't native or weren't "supposed" to go here. I could literally walk 5 minutes from my house and pick kilograms of them! they're everywhere that there is pine trees and grow almost year round.

yeah apparantly they're only supposed to be native to the northern hemisphere, but all kinds of spcecies and genus has been introduced to aus over the years. man i wish i could walk for 5 minutes and find shrooms around my area, would be pretty rad, all you'll find here is acacias but i don't know which ones are active or how to do extractions so they're not that useful to me.

in NZ and AUS they're an imported invasive.
just like english ivy, japanese honeysuckle, wisteria, etc over here in the states.
