Possible psilocybe cinctulus?

Found in a lawn on the side of a recently developed urban road. They were fruiting in number but I picked a few for pics.
Spore print was black.







These last few pics may be another species that got mixed in?



God would I be happy if I finally found some psilocybes after all these years.

1. Psathyrella. 2. Cortinarius.
Psilocybe cubensis doesn't grow on lawns.

Oh, my mistake, I misread. They're not Panaeolus cinctulus either which are not a Psilocybe species.

Might be foenisecii but better off spore printing
Brown print = foenisecii I believe
A nice jet black print is what a cinctulus gives
Foenisecii are typically more the commoner on the grass

Its not Panaeolus, Psathyrella species can have brown to jet black spores. The stem is too white, brittle and the gills are not mottled (Spotted).

No it's Psathyrella, gills are far too smooth for Panaeolus.

oh thank you for explaining how to spot the difference, I was curious but for some reason I never want to "bother" trusted identifiers with such questions.
I'd never heard of/noticed spotted gills

You should, its no bother. If you're willing to learn ask away.

It happens because the spores mature on Panaeolus gills unevenly, this leads to a mottled (Spotted) appearance where some sections of the gills will have more mature spores than others. This is not typical with most genera of gilled mushrooms where the spores mature at a more even rate. Another genus that will do this is Lacrymaria.
Here are two example photos of different Panaeolus species.

Here's a picture of https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/inaequihymeniiferous gills in Panaeolus antillarum.
