ID help? Psilocybe cubensis?

This is my first time looking for / picking mushrooms and I am in northern Mississippi in the country where I noticed a lot growing out of cow manure and wood chips. From ID tips these looked to me like psilocybe cubensis but since I've never ID'ed before I wanted to get another opinion. One thing I wanted to note is that all of these I believe had the purplish/dark veil under the stems but came off when I rinsed them in water, so they don't appear in the pics.
Habitat: Found in far north Mississippi in pastures growing from piles of cow dung and woodchips
Gills: Some very light brown, some darker brown, almost a purplish tint
Stem: Around 2-6 inches long, yellowish with dark brown/purple veil about 1/2-1 inch below cap, some are hollow but some a little more dense, but all stringy inside Bruises a bluish greenish gray.
Cap: Younger ones have a rounder bell shaped cap and are darker golden brown, with a kind of membrane covering the gills. Older more grown ones have more umbrella shaped cap, golden brown more in the middle and sometimes with a nipple, then fading to white on the edges Slimy when wet. Bruises kind of a greenish gray when ripped
Spore print color: Dark brown with purplish tint
Bruising: Bluish/green on the stems; more of a gray/green on the caps. Again this is my first time picking so I don't know how "blue" a bruise needs to be to be considered really blue. It is just a tint somewhere between blue/gray/green that shows up more on the stems when cut

Looks like it to me. Wait for someone who knows more than me because I am a massive noob and I don't want you to die.

Yes 100% cubensis, but how many did you find? They look really healthy. Nice find, and Peace
