PNW Dung-loving ID Request

Discovered these weird guys hanging out with my cincts all of a sudden. I am wondering what they are

Habitat: Found growing out of a pile of dung/sawdust mixture in which I find p. cinctulus. It was growing out of a piece of dung, BUT that dung had sawdust stuck all over it, so it was hard to determine if it preferred one or the other.
Gills: black-ish when mature (I only found one mature specimen near multiple pins), gills not attached to stipe
Stem: Tough, reddish & scaley looking
Cap: Viscid, ruddy, maturing to a brownish-olive, nickle-sized when mature, striated & umbonate, drying weirdly to tan starting in the middle and working its way outwards
Spore print color: A very dark brown or black-ish
Bruising: Just darkening, I think, hard to tell because of the already-deep nature of the stem color
Wondering what these things are; I'm used to finding a handful of different mushrooms here but this is an entirely new addition...
-------------------- Found Species: Ps. Azurescens, Ps. Cyanescens, Ps. Baeocystis, Ps. Semilanceata, Pan. Cinctulus

They seemed psilocybe-ish to me - but from what I'm reading so far, they are not active and were moved to Deconica?

I think that's about the sum of it.

Hey I am new here and I know I am late, but for future reference I think k this could be Psilocybe fimetaria. Check it out. Widely distributed but sorta uncommon from what I've read. I didn't see anyone post that.

They are too red for Psilocybe fimetaria - they are Deconica coprophila.
