May I please have some help identifying this? Thanks so much. I don't think they are Liberty Cap, and I don't think they are P. rugosa, but I'm having a hard time narrowing it down. Spore prints were really hard to take on these little fellows. any help is much appreciated.
Habitat: Found in mowed, tamped-down/disturbed/well-trod grassy pasture. Isolated specimens found in middle of field, most on on mossy-grassy substrate, colonies found just beyond the outer edge of the show of fir trees (just beyond the tips of the farthest-extending grasses. Most of the specimens sprung up after a period of rain a week or so ago, with consistent day and night temps around 50F for about a month prior to the rain.
Gills:gills decurrent (attached), dried to a pale color with the rest of the cap
Stem: hollow, "shreddable," off-white color, springy and flexible, easily handled without breaking
Stem:varied from .5'-2'
Cap: 1/4'-1/2' for the largest specimens. off-white to brown with prominent "nipple" in the center.Caps ribbed with slight fringe at outer edges. Obtusely conical, seeming to flatten as they mature, immature specimens bell-shaped
Spore print color:
Bruising: No discoloration or bruising with handling
Other information: Pictures below all from the same species (as far as I can tell)

Something is not right there.....
Nearly all of the mushrooms in your photos appear very much to be Mycena sp., except for a few in your first and last images, but they are too small to see well - but those spore prints definitely are not from Mycena and don't even look like they are from the pictured mushrooms.... in the first place they appear to be far too large... and Mycena print white.
-------------------- Disclaimer - I'm just a hobbyist and cannot absolutely guarantee any ID offered. I'm most familiar with the species found in the Pacific Northwest - those found in other parts of the world may vary considerably, so always do your own research to find out what grows in your area and what lookalikes you need to be aware of. Understand that many mushroom species cannot be 100% reliably identified by photographs alone, even by an expert, so it may not be possible to go beyond suggesting a probable genus.

Thank you for the response and sorry for the confusion. The spore print photo was indeed from another species and it got mixed in here by mistake. My bad! Sorry for the low res images, the originals are larger and have much more detail, but it was a bit complicated trying to manually resize them for the website. Again, thank you for taking the time to take a peek and render an opinion. Much appreciated!
