Habitat:This was growing on/near dung near the Washington coast. A little bit of soil was present.
Gills:A chocolate brown color to the gills.
Stem: Length≈2 inches, diameter≈¼inch,cream colored, hollow stem, bruised slightly darker brown but hardly even noticeable.
Cap: Diameter≈ ¾inch, color= cream colored on top with a chocolate colored rim around the outside edge. Also slightly darker brown in the very middle (top). Smooth.
Spore print color: I'm in the midst of getting one right now. It's taking quite some time, but it's definitely dark.
Bruising:a very subtle browning.

They are a Panaeolus of some type IMO, maybe cinctulus. Please post a spore print once the are done.

Your print certainly looks brown but is very light in deposit and this can be misleading. You usually want to try to obtain a deeper print that that when possible.
Try leaving the print for much longer. If the cap is dry, quickly dip it in water and pat it dry first, or place a few drops directly on the cap one at a time. Failing that, damp a q-tip and swab the gills repeatedly until a dark enough deposit transfers to the q-tip to see the color well.

If the Spore print is black, what might your guess be? Along with brown? Thank you very much.

Panaeolus cinctulus is likely.

Well, almost all Panaeolus have properly black spores, though a few have brown ones.
Most Psathyrella have spores which are brown or purple brown but some have spores which are black.
the proper way to distinguish them, if this still holds up under modern classification would be by viewing the spores under microscopy after they are treated with sulphuric acid. The genera can occasionally be fairly difficult to separate otherwise.
I will happily agree with Alan and maynard though.
