Hi folks, found these buggers in the Limpopo province.
Habitat: Shallow valley at the bottom of a large dam. Moderate temperatures of 20°C approx. Overcast past two days, lots of mist and generally high humidity.
Open grassland with pastures for cows, found growing out of cow dung under no trees, in open air, cow dung was on a flat spread of rocks.
What does it grow on: Cow dung
Gills: Color - powder brown light with darker stripes, attached/not- i have no idea, gills, with short and long variations.
Stem: Length from dome to substrate approx 20mm, diameter 3mm color light brown, texture smooth, solid, thin
Cap: Diameter 20 mm, color brown with darker brown stripes texture super smooth, spherical, convex
Spore print color: black
Bruising: Color that the mushroom bruises, is dark brown.
Other information: Scent of the mushroom is very feint cheese, almost like cheddar.

I'd guess a Coprinellus species, but Coprinopsis might also be possible.

Its probably P. antillarum. If its not that it has to be something undescribed, but my hypothesis its the same species everywhere and was heavily spread with livestock.
