Identification Request - South Louisiana
#22478753 - 11/04/15 10:33 PM (8 years, 2 months ago) |

Habitat: Growing in a grassy pasture on cow dung
Gills: Gills are detached and appear to be brown/tan but covered in a dark charcoal coating (see images)
Stem: Longish, thin stems (some are a bit thicker), tan/brown in color - appear to be hollow when cut
Cap: Diameter ranges from 1/2" to 2" , tanish brownish with some being darker than other, they are conical in shape like little umbrellas
Spore print color: Spore print color appears to be charcoal grey but I am not sure that I am doing it property.
Bruising: No noticeable bruising color. **EDIT: After the comment below, I am guessing that the grey/blue discolorations are considered the bruising - I'm a bit of a noob. 
Other information: Mushrooms have a regular mushroom scent. Not too strong or too weak - pretty average. Found these growing in a pasture after a few days of rain on a grassy, sloped hillside - growing in cow patties only. Any help with identifying these is much appreciated, thank you.

Panaeolus cyanescens. I don't know how you come up with 'no noticeable bruising color', unless you posted the wrong pictures.
Of course make sure all you collect conform (as easy in this case as making sure they each bruise blue) but I don't see anything else at a reasonable glance.

In seriousness though, something like Stropharia caerulea?

Man I took a bunch of photos of them and discarded them. I had no luck with an affirmative ID. Found a few that look very similar however.

Sweet. Was my first time looking for them and literally just walked down the street on a whim. Looks like I hit the jackpot. Thanks for the ID.
At the risk of sounding naive,can anyone comment on whether or not there are any dangerous mushrooms that may look similar, or is this a relatively safe bet?
