Habitat: Mossy grass under ferns and other weeds
Gills: White/Biege, attached, gills
Stem: Lengthy in comparison to cap size, 1mm/2mm, , smooth, hard to say if it's solid or hollow but I'd go with hollow, thin
Cap: Inch or Inch and a half, a white brown color, texture, spherical, concave Spore print color: White, I believe
Bruising: Bruises a dark brown/brown color
Other information:I think it might be the Psilocybe Quebecensis

It may look cubish, I don't think that's a cube. I photograph wild mushrooms all the time and I've seen tons of cubie looking fungi. The red stem makes me say hell no that isn't a cube. Do they snap in half or are they squishy when you bend pinch them with three fingers.

Yeah don't eat those lol I looked at them again and the definitely don't look like cubes. There's no veil on the stem, the caps before the veils break are shaped more like pans cyan(definitely not pans though), the stem is red?, and it has a white spore print. All of those are indications towards that fungi not being ps. Cubes.
If a TI could confirm my beliefs that would be awesome. I'm not an identifier.

I squeezed all of them and alot of them broke in half, but a few of them didn't and I think the red might just be the lighting because they look more brown to me

Either way they should bruise blue not brown or red. They also shouldn't snap, they should be kinda squishy.

Not a problem man, you should check some cow fields. They like to grow on the dung of grain fed cattle. And what nots.

Okay, I live like far off from anyone else so it might be hard to find a cow field but if I find myself in the immediate vicinity of one I may just have to go raid it.

Here's a recent post from a similar situation (though without knowing your general location it's impossible tell whether or not cubes grow in your area), check the link for advice on how to find what you're after.

Jarr1337 said: Please help. These were found in my backyard in central WI in an area that receives less sunlight. I have pictures attached, they look quite similar to Cuben sister mushrooms. The spore print color is a light brown color and the Bruising color looks grayish, maybe blue. They are very small and the caps have a conical shape.

If you meant cubensis mushrooms, no those do not look like psilocybe cubensis. P cubensis does not grow in your location or habitat (unless livestock is present, but even then), naturally; they generally also have a blue veil present on the stipe. There is a very informational post on how to find active mushrooms, if those are what you are after; the post even includes a state-by-state guide.

Here are some reference photos of p cubensis. They should provide a good example of traits to look for while hunting cubes. Those traits include, bruising blue, veil on stipe, and the texture and coloring of the cap.

Psilocybe cubensis grow from dung. Your photo barely enlarges and does not show all the characteristics needed for a proper ID. They are 100% not cubensis and 100% not active.

You could try comparing to cortinarius or inocybe
