Growing on cow dung in central Kentucky - cyanescens?

I found a few clusters of these mushrooms growing on old cow patties on top of a grassy hill after rain earlier this week. They just look kind of dark brown when I try to bruise them but some of the ones in my photos seem to have long term blue-gray bruising but that might just be wishful thinking on my part. The spore prints are all dark brown to black.
I think they match the description of panaeolus/copelandia cyanescens and they look very similar to this a photo from John W. Allen I found. (https://erowid.org/plants/mushrooms/images/archive/panaeolus_cyanescens5.jpg)
I know that cyanescens have been found in Kentucky before but I definitely need an expert’s opinion on this one.

They appear to be some sort of coprophilous mushroom, but we'll need close up shots to identify them safely.
As far as I know you won't find Panaeolus cyanescens in Kentucky, so if you find anything psychoactive growing from dung it is probably P. cinctulus. Maybe that's what you got here, but I have my doubts.

Protostropharia sp. Likely protostropharia semiglobata. Not an active mushroom, sorry bud.

Alright. Good to know. I’m constantly amazed by the variety of mushrooms out there. Thanks for the ID!
