First attempt at hunting

Habitat: Found in a grassy field by a woodland area in NW London, UK. Found during autumn on a foggy day where the grass was still covered in dew.
Gills: a consistent shape and colour throughout, have a slight dark brownish/purple hue to them, I am unsure of the spores.
Stem: The stems are, in comparison to the size of the cup, long and spindly, theyre not hollow and they are thin. When wet the stems are a brownish/white colour.
Cap: The caps are somewhat 'domed' like a less exagerrated streotypical liberty cap and have a slight nipple on them, again, not as exaggerrated as some images of liberty caps. the colour is a light beige/brown when dry and when wet was a lot darker. They are majoritively smooth although a couple have 'wrinkles' running up to the tip.
Spore print color: Dark, looks like there may be a hue of purple/blue to it.
Bruising: Again, bruising isnt too prominant or evident, some of them have a darker hue in areas, could be considered blue/purple.
Other information: They dont really have any odour at all and they were growing in a field where numerous variants of mushrooms were growing. Some flat and some with what appeared to be gills on the outside of the dome.
I have attached images of both kind of domes, a few appear to be more domed than others.

Appears to be Psathyrella and Panaeolina.

Thank you for replying so fast!
So would you reccommend discarding them? I don't want to be getting sick and was planning on saving them for my bday in a few weeks but can go back on the hunt!

They are not active and not worth saving for your b-day.

Failing a successful one, LSD it is

Out of interest, would the area I described be the sort of place libs would grow? There are numerous varients of mushrooms growing in the fields of the woodland.
The woodland itself used to be an ancient roman pig farm and has since be returned to nature. Wild muntjac, rabbits, foxes, badgers and other wildlife all roam the woodland freely and it has a wide variety of southern facing hills, grassy knolls and dense woodland.

Any large game that passes through in herds?

Some Panaeolus, and some fragile Psathyrella.

Stick to the grassland for libs, if you're in the area I would guess, you'll find them. There might be cyans in the woods and also in woodchip outside the library and such.

OK thank you for the advice! I'll stick to the grassland and explore a few other areas local to me. There is an equestrian farm nearby so I was thinking of having a look through there.

Regarding large game, I'm not so certain, there is a lot of woodland pigeons and some funky green birds flying around but there arent really any ducks, or large birds that I am aware of. Would they indicate a better chance of finding them?

The funky green birds are Ring-Necked Parakeets. I don't know if the question is serious but the answer is no.
