I am from michigan and i was hunting in central florida, madison county. I ran across these mushrooms i am not familiar with but have most of the characteristics of cubes, all except the blueing when bruised. Could you or somebody from central florida help me out, thanks.
I have more pictures, they were in a cow field, came in clusters, did not grow directly on the cow poop, but nearby, lots of them, big nipple on top, blackish gills, washed them before testing spores.
Im a chef so im actually hoping they are not cubes but edible.

They are not Psilocybe cubensis, that's for sure, that species doesn't grow wild in Michigan, neither are these similar in any way.
Gills look mottled, I'm suggesting Panaeolus perhaps close to P. semiovatus, but not sure. Can you take a spore print?

i'm from Michigan, these were found in central Florida in a cow pasture today, michigan is a frozen waste land right now, no mushrooms growing there
The spores are a dark brown to black.

wow, this is that out there nobody knows, I thought this would be common place and somebody would pipe right up and identify, this was in central Florida, Madison county, cow field, lots of them, brown gold on top, big nipple, black underneath, dark brown black spores, creamy white stem, no blueing, grew around cow poop not from it, smells like a mushroom out of the store, probably tastes like one from the smell. Lots of them, sprung up after a couple days rain.

Possibly Hypholoma species then, I guess there might be some buried wood in that field. But the mottled, white edged gills and the somewhat pruinose stem puts me off.
Got a picture of the print?

Would any of these make sense for central florida, madison county area? cow fields, dont think wood is involved unless it was buried.
I think it's: marasmius oreades Or perhaps phaeocollybia christinae , galerina , psilocybe muliercula , or omphalotus illud

these mushrooms were found in a cow field, not directly growing our of the cow poop, but in the vicinity. they are golden brown on top with a larger nipple like feature on the top. They are brown black on the bottom with a cream colored stalk. They smell like a store bought mushroom. They sprung up after a rain. I did not see any wood in the area, however I suppose some could have been buried many years ago when the field was prepared for cattle, but that many years ago, no wood was evident. The spore was very dark, dark brown, black, maybe a slight purple, but dark purple. Found in central to north Florida in Madison county. I'm a chef and need to know what they are and if they are edible.

Nope, they have white spore prints.
Quote:

Not Phaeocollybia, they grow for the most part in woodlands and have long so-called "tap roots" - i.e. the stem extends in a tapering fashion far into the ground. You would have noticed when you picked them.
Quote:
galerina
Galerina species don't have purplish spore prints.
Quote:
psilocybe muliercula
They are not, and I strongly doubt you'll find them in a cow field in Florida. They grow in highly elevated forests in Mexico and Central America, and they also stain blue which yours don't.
Quote:
omphalotus illud
Nope, not even remotely close to Omphalotus, which grows from wood and have funnel shaped caps and decurrent gills.
I'm pretty convinced your find is a Hypholoma species. You could return to the spot and poke around in the dirt a bit to check for any buried wood. And also wait for some fellow Floridians for their input. I'm stuck in Europe, so I haven't got much specialized knowledge of your local species.

Hypholoma capnoides is considered edible, but probably not too exciting taste wise. Your find is most likely something like H. lateritium, whose edibility is questionable.
In other words, if you're looking for a culinary experience, drop these and keep looking.

Thats a grassy area of cowfield, area probably well fertilized buy dung. Dark gills, black spore print all that seems to suggest panaeolus. The nipple on the cap and golden brown color is odd though, maybe doc will chime in, he's a FL identifier.
Hunting for non active edibles in a cowfield is "dumb" for lack of a better term, also risky..no offense lol. Boletes are one of the easy to find common edibles..Hit a nature trail

i am down here hunting and these things looked similar to something a friend picks up north, there were tons of them, so I picked a few, shopping bag full thinking they were probably good.
I have so many varying opinions now ive lost my nerve about them.

I wouldn’t eat them, especially now that they’re all wet. At best, they are a very mediocre edible in prime condition (which they are no longer in), at worst you’re gonna give yourself a stomach ache and diarrhea. Chunk em.
