Wales Mushroom ID help!

Hey guys, I went out hunting today in a field I knew about through a friend (we went looking last year but were too late!)
I found lots of mushrooms which appear to be liberty caps or similar but I wanted to make sure, as some of them have a more domed top than some photos I have seen. I'm making some spore prints but even then I'm not sure what to look for. I'm happy to split any of them up between the group (3 of us) who want to try them but I just want to make sure none of these are poisonous.

Here are some photos, can you guys tell me what's what?
Thanks!

mixed collection, but def some libs.
right off the bat you can get rid of the fat one with a short stipe that looks nothing like the rest in the upper right of your first pic.

The one just below said fatty is a liberty cap.

I see a handful of Psilocybe semilanceata, amongst a bunch of inactive Panaeolus, a couple I am guessing are likely Entoloma sericeum, and probably another rando 2 or 3. For future reference, a pile of mushrooms is not a good picture for ID purposes.
Welcome to The Shroomery! maybe you should try separating the mushrooms you brought home into groups that are all the same, and taking a picture of each group, arranged in an orderly fashion.

Thanks for the replies guys, I really appreciate the help.
Sorry for the disorganised photos, I just snapped them before running off to work so I didn't have much time!
You say you reckon most of these are inactive? Based on what my friend who uses the field has told me, the mushrooms he's taken from there were pretty common and fit this description, so though they're not liberty caps are they safe to try and take?
A couple of them gave me cinnamon coloured spore prints (bad apparently?) so I'll throw those out, but do you think any of the others will be poisonous? I know liberty caps have the most potency but are there other British species which are safe and worth eating? Sorry for all the questions but I do want to be careful, and couldn't find much specific stuff on the search.
Most of the mushrooms are pretty dry now, but I think I can tell which ones actually are liberty caps based on what you've told me (and some bluing on the stems), so I've set those aside here:

The big ones in the photo gave me really good black spore prints, so are those just large libs? In any case, do you think it's worth me discarding the rest, or just throwing away the ones with the brown prints and using the other ones?
Thanks again for the help, it's great to talk to people who know their stuff

We normally want to see clear shots in good light of the stem, gills and cap when fresh. I still appreciate you're learning and have separated some out. The small ones from your last post are probably libs and the large ones are probably Panaeolus acuminatus imo but stuff dries funny.

That jibes precisely with my assessment of the photo.
