Michigan Horse Pasture ID

Hey guys, I've been lurking this site without an account for about two months cuz everything I found had already been identified. However, I found a few today on and around horse dung and can't make a certain ID on them. Thanks for the help in advance.
Habitat: Where does it grow? On a trail leading to a horse pasture, coming from the horse stalls. Aka horse dung everywhere. Trail is in between a small lake and its drainage pond
Gills: The color of the gills of the whitish capped mushroom is a darker grey. The brown mushrooms gills are a darker purple/grey color. When dried, the brown mushrooms gills are lighter purple. The short, tannish mushrooms have white gills.
Stem: The brown mushrooms are a little shorter than the white ones. The tan mushrooms are about half the size of the brown ones. Brown capped mushrooms bruise a darker purple/brown. The white mushrooms bruise a light brown. Tan capped mushrooms were already bruised a dark brown/black before I even picked them.
Cap: all of the caps are dry (not slippery to touch). Most of the white mushrooms have an umbonate cap. The brown mushrooms just have a nice curve to their caps. The tan mushrooms have caps similar to the brown ones.
Spore print color: White capped mushrooms: dark black. Brown capped mushrooms: lighter black, possibly darker purple. Not the best spore print I've ever gotten. Tan capped mushrooms:spore print couldn't be taken
Bruising: brown capped mushrooms bruise a dark purplish brown. White caps bruise a very light brown. Tan capped shrooms were bruised dark brown before being picked.
Other information: The white cap mushrooms stem go all the way to the top of the cap and the gills ascend to reach the stem. The brown capped mushrooms stem is parallel with the gills (bottom of the cap is where the stem starts). Younger versions of the brown capped mushrooms can have reddish/black caps. The tan capped shrooms gills also ascend to reach the stem. Since I would imagine it'd be hard as fuck to id a shroom on words alone, I tried to take a bunch of pictures. The only mushroom I think comes close to any of these are the panaeolus cambodginiensis In comparison to the white mushrooms I found, but even I, a novice shroom hunter, can tell that that's not what I've found. Anyways, please let me know what you guys think these are.

I think that the majority of them might be Deconica coprophila, you can tell by the purple spore deposit that they aren't Panaeolus. The second to the last picture is probably Panaeolus papilionaceus.

Thanks a lot guys. Are either of these mushrooms good indicator species that hallucinogenic mushrooms may be nearby? I've basically narrowed my search down to panaeolus cinctulus for now since its too early for gyms. I'd deeply appreciate any tips you guys might have

I think that only psychoactive mushroom that grows in horse fields in the state of Michigan are Panaeolus cinctulus. So I would study pictures and traits of them and go out and find some.
Here is a list of the psychoactive mushroom that grow in your state;
________Michigan:________
Pholiotina smithii*** Gymnopilus aeruginosus** Gymnopilus junonius** Gymnopilus luteofolius** Gymnopilus luteus** Panaeolus cinctulus* Pluteus salicinus*** Psilocybe caerulipes** Psilocybe liniformans var.americana*** Psilocybe ovoideocystidiata** Psilocybe quebecensis*** Psilocybe silvatica**
Welcome to the shroomery!

Right on, definitely Deconica coprophila group and that second to last is Panaeolus papilionaceus.

Keep looking. The mushrooms you found are extremely common so not great as an indicator species, but keep looking and you'll come across some P. cinctulus, which are also very common. The list maynard posted has some cool species to keep an eye out for. Good luck!
