Habitat: Grasslands/football field
Gills: Brown, maybe a hint of purple on some
Stem: Bare, wavy
Cap: most caps between 0.5-1cm, all tan/yellow with nipples
Spore print color: just got home, in progress
Bruising: some have very faint bruising on them, freshly picked so I'd imagine it'll become more apparent after a while.
Now, I'm pretty much certain these are libs, but thought I'd err on the side of caution and confirm it here. Someone gimme the good news

If there's a lot of people around don't worry. It means there's other people and things and bustling about that people can be distracted by. Unless cops/rangers are within running distance of you who cares. Snag them quick, if someone bugs you say you lost x/y/z item the other day and you're looking for it and move on at a standard pace. Two people stopped me once so I slipped my wedding ring into my pocket and said I lost it. Guy wished me luck and they left. If you overexplain yourself or stutter or something then you're calling more attention to yourself.
Don't wear a weed leaf hat while carrying a paper bag in a basket (duh). Grab the bastards and go along. You can also just walk up to them, kneel down to "tie your shoe" and pluck them. If there's more switch over and retie your other lace while picking more. Use your body mass and jackets or clothing to your advantage.
I've seen a lot of people hunting and they're constantly turning around to check their 6 and looking spazzed.
I guess just be careful is all I'm saying.. if I was in my old state and someone was trespassing at night this time of year (deer season), I could kill them and be within my rights. Never been a conviction during hunting season... be safe and smart... and by that I mean situational awareness. Do you hear anyone? Is there a side path? Do you hear a dog's leash dragging or tags jingling? Are there kids around? (Parents watch their children and surrounding people like hawks). There's nothing illegal about stopping to stretch your back and scan a wide area.
If you look and act like everyone else, then chances are if people see you they won't remember you a minute later unless there are reasons to be suspicious.
Nice finds btw.

Hey man, thanks for the advice. Thankfully we have different gun laws in our country so there is very little chance I'll get shot :-p
Yeah I usually just try not to act suspicious at all, funnily enough I was going to just say I dropped something like you suggested, in the unlikely event I was asked by someone. There was a group of women around with kids though, and I briefly caught them looking at me (probably wondering what I was doing), that coupled with some kind of emergency services sirens somewhere close by and I just decided to get out of there. It's dark now so away out again in the next few hours, going my my estimates I'd say there is about ~1000 more in that area so too good to be passed up. Wish me luck!
