Willamette Valley Oregon Identification (grasslands species)

Hi Shroomery,
Found these mushrooms and a lot of them in a field with dark green grass. I'm not betting on them being psilocybes but I really wanted to get a positive ID on them because I can't figure out what they are. A really beautiful brown mushroom. The caps are anywhere from .75cm - 4.5cm. The stem is extremely variable too just like the caps. Some have a very pronounced umbo while others are more conic or more convex. The pics will speak more accurately than me...
Habitat: Large flat grassland with the big wheel sprinkler agriculture dealios (to give you a picture - about eight acres). Not sure if the section of grass where these were picked was recently tilled... but I don't think that it was. The grass that these mushrooms grew in was VERY dark green and was only in a section about 1 acre by 30 feet wide in a rectangle. Much of the rest of the field was ripped up recently by machines and there were no mushrooms, only the first formings of grass and weeds that grow after tilling. This area is in the Willamette Valley of Oregon, north of Eugene and south or Portland, near Aurora Oregon.
Gills: Brown gills, close but not too close. See pics.
Stem: 4-10cm in length, they pull apart like string cheese and are somewhat easy to bend around a finger but they will break. The color is a whitish brown, both the colors white and brown can be seen in the stem.
Cap: .75cm - 4.5cm in diameter, margin is NOT consistently even. Hygrophanous - first a very nice dark brown and then fading to a really nice pie crust/straw color. A copper boss in the center is a semi-consistent feature. I did not notice a separable gelatinous pellicle and I tore a few of them apart and there was nothing there. Conic to convex. A lot of the older caps split on the margin and/or are wavy.
Spore print color: Spores are printing as I type this. I WILL update with spore print pictures when they're done.
Bruising: I haven't noticed bruising yet
if you need any more info please ask me I REALLLY want to know what these mushrooms are called.
