3 types picked, only 2 spore printed as the 3rd was a black mess. Mainly interested in the brown hygrophanous one with dark purple brown spores. I'm only familiar with Psilocybin subaeruginosa.

Habitat:
Where does it grow? Eg. woods, pasture, state, province, country, altitude, etc. What does it grow on? Eg. soil, dung, wood (dead, living, what kind of wood?), etc.

Cow pasture with high density of cow pats

Gills:
Color dark brown, not attached ? See pic, gills

Stem:
Length, diameter, color, texture, hollow/solid, thin/thick, etc.

Cap:
Diameter, color, texture, conical/spherical, convex/concave, etc.

Spore print color: dark purple/brown
Very important!

Bruising:
The stem discolored although the caps show no evidence of

Other information:
Scent of the mushroom, anything else you think is important, large close-up pictures showing stem, cap and gills

"The period of Prohibition — called the noble experiment — brought on the greatest breakdown of law and order the United States has known until today. I think there is a lesson here.
Do not regulate the private morals of people. Do not tell them what they can take or not take. Because if you do, they will become angry and antisocial and they will get what they want from criminals who are able to work in perfect freedom because they have paid off the police."

Your "black mess" is probably a coprinoid species (or inky cap, as it is appropriately called), the other
ones are a mix of Panaeolus sp., looks mostly like P. papilionaceus and P. foenisecii.
