Found in Oregon, in the woods near pasture

I found these a couple weeks ago and didn't take a spore print. I remember where they are in my woods, so my question is if it's worth going back out there to find them?

After a few weeks, they are unlikely to still be in any decent shape ... they could re-fruit, but in any case they are neither active, nor edible, so nah not worth going back, unless you want to check to see if something else has grown in the area - which could hold other species.
They look to be to likely be a Collyboid, - I'd say probably Rhodocollybia butyracea, but there are a few other pretty similar collyboids in the Gymnopus genus.

I have 20 acres of pasture and 40 acres on woods, and I just found those randomly walking in my woods.
Someone said that if I live in NW Oregon and have 40 acres of woods and 20 acres of pasture (that used to be used for animals decades ago), I definitely have something active. Would you say that's true?

I don't know much about things that grow in pastures, so I couldn't personally say much to that... not sure how long ago the poo has to have been deposited.
As far things like P. cyanescans go, they seem to prefer a human influenced environment. You're not super likely to find actives in the natural wooded areas, other than maybe P. pelliculosa, but I don't see it found all that often, so I suspect it's not super common.

Check out which species grow in your area. There are quite a few active species which grow in Oregon, some are more common than others, but I'm not from the area, so I can't tell you which ones are most common.
I notice that Psilocybe semilanceata is on the list, but again, I don't know how common they are. They are a grassland species, but they do not need dung to grow although it is said to help. I find them in parks and golf courses all the time that have never to my knowledge been pasture, at least not for a very long time. What do you use the pasture for now? If you use it to grow some other crop then there is no chance, they need grass. If there's still grass, then maybe, but I still think the grass needs to be kept to a reasonable length even if it is not grazed. So if it is mowed for silage or hay, then perhaps there is a chance you might still find them there.

Likely Rhodocollybia sp.
