Wet mushroom ID - nipple with no visible spores. Dartmoor, UK

Found these today whilst walking the dog in Dartmoor. Wasn’t planning on starting my hunt (for libs) until next week when the drier weather comes around but I spotted these (tonnes of them) and haven’t been able to ID them yet.
It’s been very windy recently and has rained all day long, making the ID a little harder. Could the extreme winds have blown away the spores, making the gills paler? The caps themselves seem a little dark for libs even though they’re soaked, so I highly doubt they are, but I’m stumped as to what it is I’ve found!
So are these immature/wind blown libs? Or are they some other type of mushroom? Either way I’d like to know so that I can possibly rule them out in the future
EDIT: Rest of post (including photos) below, unsure why half of it didn’t show up!

Hmm half my post isn’t showing up on there, let’s try that again!
Habitat: Found up high in Dartmoor on a flat grassy pasture where cows, sheep and horses have been grazing recently
Gills: Pale gills with no visible spores (high winds recently - can they have blown away, or possibly underdeveloped?)
Stems: Strong, hollow, beige/mid brown. Relatively short but could be immature as it hasn’t stopped raining yet. Many were too small to pick so I only grabbed a few of the larger ones. Interested to check back on a dry day and see how they’ve changed.
Cap: Cone/bell shape with nipples. Dark brown/beige in colour, but very wet. Ripples around edge, colour slightly lighter around edge on most of them. They seem to be changing shape as they dry so I’ve included an updated photo of a one that’s dried a bit more.
Spore print color: Will update with spore prints tomorrow morning, I have a few set aside that are being printed right now, but as I can’t see any spores on them, I’m not sure I’m going to get a result...
Bruising: No colour changes from bruising as far as I can tell
Many thanks in advance.

No worries, thanks for the in-depth post! They look like Mycena sp. in my opinion

I think you’re right, many of the smaller ones I left behind look much like the ones a google image search shows.
Many thanks!

Honestly I've only spotted the "nipple" present in 50% or less Psilocybe Semilanceata specimens that I have seen, you're better off using other macroscopic identification properties than looking for a nipple, which seems to be even more present in other genera.
Happy Hunting!
