1st timer from Ireland, variety needs identifying please!

Two batches picked over Sunday and today, came across a variety and don't know where to begin. Anything poisonous, please let me know. Apologies if this is too uncoordinated. Trying agin tomorrow and I'll keep each post to the specific type if that is helpful

Habitat: river side pasture, Limerick/Clare, Ireland. Mostly grown on grazed field, fertilised with silage *I think*. Cows grazing The other batch, the assorted ones in the sausepan are from ungrazed longer grass from an island on Lough Derg.
Gills: Variety; Dark Gills in most
Stem: Mostly 4 inches, again a variety of finds. Mostly dark, some copper brown.
Cap: Curious about the darker caps, conical but with no exaggerated nipple in most cases. The caps in the other larger group are pale, with varying nipple/horns.
Spore print color: No spore print as of yet, next time I post I'll be better organised.
Bruising: Some bruising have seemed to exaggerate the blue ink appearance.

You have some liberty caps, some panaeolus species, some psathyrellas and something that could be a marasmius or bolbitius species.

as far as the pans and libs

... and Mycena and Conocybe and maybe an Entoloma and Hygrocybe. Some are possibly poisonous, the libs are active, but most are just inedible.

Thanks for sifting through those CharlesB, and to everyone else who answered the call. By all means give me a bit of 'constructive criticism' if I went OTT with the photos. Next post will be hopefully more streamlined. First deliberate steps on taking mushrooms, after being curious for a long time. A friend caught wind there were shrooms on a particular island on Lough Derg, we canoed out on Sunday basking in beautiful weather but only a smattering of shrooms, unsure if any were useful. Had a great day though, bumped into cool people and heard that there are a plentiful amount of shrooms on another island and it's surrounding fields RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO MY PARENTS HOUSE. Couldn't believe my luck, literally jump over the wall and I'm good to go (That's were most of the liberty bells were picked up). 10 strokes of a paddle in our canoe and I'm on the island. Very keen to head off there today "walking the dog & taking photos" but it's been a dry-ish couple of days and it's due to rain tomorrow morning so I might hold off until after that. I'll post what I find, fingers crossed for some success.

Whoa that sounds really nice, canoeing and lib hunting. Look for the sheep, libs are always near. Walking the dog through the mountains and woods, picking shrooms and taking photos as I go is one of my favourite things to do. Good for the soul. Even better if you take a couple of libs as you do it.. sometimes I eat a few as I find them fresh out of the ground, before I know it I'm feeling a little trippy and with the fairies.
Had loads of rain here lately and is raining now. Loads more rain forecast too over coming days so should be no shortage of that. Should be a few more weeks of the season left I think. Good luck with the hunt.

Popped over on the canoe today, the reports seem to be greatly exaggerated unfortunately! Encountered a small amount of what appear to be libs, a small assortment of others but nothing major. Might walk the dog along the canal banks tomorrow, there's sheep often grazing nearby...
