While many species are described in the Psathyrella candolleana group, I have doubts that many are valid as they are based on tiny microscopic differences which probably do not matter. I'd just call it Psathyrella candolleana unless there is a compelling reason not to.

Awesome, thank you!
There's no reason to be very specific, as a hobby I'm trying to identify and learn all my local fungi, so I want to be as specific as I can, but if I'm wrong there is no consequence.
(I never consume anything I find, this is all for information, education and fun, so I can afford to make mistakes, though I would prefer not to.)

You can fry up the Psathyrella candolleana, it, like all Psathyrella species are edible.

I already threw them away...those ones had bugs in them any way.
I never eat fungi, I'm fascinated by it, but I don't like to eat it...I mean I study higher plants as well, but I don't eat my finds even when edible in that area either, the knowledge is the reward, plus when your learning plants and fungi every walk through the neighborhood or park becomes a scientific expedition and learning opportunity, full of specimens to collect and study.

Good information though, great to know these things about these common lawn fungi.
