Psathyrella species probably. You should always take photos of the gills and some closeups too.

I can go do that now. And are they the Psilocybin kind?

If it's a Psathyrella, then it isn't a psilocybin kind.

Well yes the macroscopic characteristics helps to rule out species what it isn't and helps to figure out the what it could be. The mushrooms are already a bit dry and that makes it more difficult for correct identification. But yes, psathyrella's tend to usually have a couple of recognizable characteristics. They could be something else too.

The spore print color matches the genus Psathyrella and some characteristics on the cap like the visible striations and how it has dried still suggests me Psathyrella species.

....damn. so theyre useless and lethal. Thank you Velho. Youve been very informative! ...wish i could get my hands on some psilocybin. Im now frustrated
Im not sure if it matters, but these last pictures were takin outside. And its cool,65 degrees but theres humidity in the air. They were squishy... so havent fully dried yet. Does that make a difference?

You should study what psilocybin containing species grows in your area, which I assume is Illinois. Also study in which kind of habitat the specific mushrooms you're looking for grows and in which time of the year. Then start hunting for the habitat and you might find what you're looking for.
There's a some sort of list in here, but I don't know how accurate it is.
And welcome to the shroomery!
