Today's hunt, please help ID

Habitat: Grew at the edge of a frequently manured agricultural field, close to a little pond/bog but these actually grew right from the cultural soil (from particles of mixed-in dung I assume)
Gills: From gray (young bulky mushrooms, pic below) to dark brown and nearly black with older ones. 3 short plates between two long ones.
Stem: 3-5 cm long, 2-6 mm thick, hollow, from white to tan/brownish. Small twisted lines and dots visible, esp. lighter closer to the cap. Brittle stems.
Cap: 0.5 - 2.5 cm diameter, color from gray/olive to slightly brownish (ones in the shadow and more humidity). Small white remnants of some tissue visible on the very edge of caps where gills start; almost all have brown/dark circle around the edge.
Spore print color: Most seem pretty black to me.
Bruising: Not noticed.
Other information: Smell a bit like fish, but might be my imagination.

These seem so very close to Panaeolus cinctulus (or Panaeolus olivaceus?), but I have a question about the young one on the picture 7&8. It has a lighter stem and gills. Still its' spore print is the blackest one and it seems like it had most nutrition (thick, strong). Also the pattern on the stem close to the cap is the same. Is whiter stem an acceptable variation in these? It was growing below taller grass in the dark if that matters.
In any case seems like they are far from anything toxic and I want to believe I had a successful hunt, but I'd love a TI' opinion please. 
Thanks in advance!

they are regular old Psathyrella species. Not active. Panaeolus would have mottled gills and a black spore print (this is clearly purple)

Wow, I thought I was so close Thanks a lot for the help though! Not active but they're not toxic either, right?

^ I'd never call that "clearly purple, they look absolutely black to me... Guess I'm colorblind lol.
Oh well, the more I "hunt panaeolus" the more confused I get
