UK Lib Cap ID request

Greetings all,
I found these widely distributed in a field in local (urban, dog-walking) park in England. I'm hoping some may be Libs.
They seem to meet some of the criteria :-
- They all have dark spores, but I cannot tell the colour. I am currently awaiting spore prints from a few randomly-selected ones.
- A few appear to have a very slightly blueish tinge to the stems, but not all.
- They are mostly going much yellower/paler as they dry out now than they were at the time of the pics.
- Some did have a sliminess to them.
- They do have a sort of mushroomy smell.
Apologies for the less than perfect lighting in the pics. I am happy to take more close-ups tomorrow in the daylight.
Please let me know if I can eat any or specifically should not eat any. I have numbered them for convenience.
I have a few general questions:
1. Do they have to be dried before being eaten. If so, would putting them on a radiator suffice? 2. Do they have to be washed before/after drying? 3. Any other treatment required/anything else I need to know?
Thank you for taking the time to help me with my query.

I question 24 and more so 26 and rule out 12, 13, 18, 29, 30, 47 and 50. The others seem like libs.

Thanks a lot for your response, it was very helpful, I'm pretty sure I can see how the ones you mentioned are not libs when I look closer at them, and this has helped me with my identification ability. 
If any of the remaining ones are not libs, is there a risk of them being poisonous/dangerous (just in case) given their appearance and the climate/environment I found them in? 
Clearly I'm a n00b and just want to be extra-careful before I dive-in! I've been waiting for this for at least 2 years 
Thanks.
