Is this Panaeolus Cinctulus

Hey everyone would someone with some microscopy experience give me some advice.
They seem pretty smooth and elliptic, as well as jet black so I don’t believe them to be Foe’s which are said to be rough and lemon shaped.
Idk I’m still such a novice and I like that this is now bringing me to a new stage of my learning, about spore sizes shapes and terms. Such as I’m looking for elliptic-citrifiorm (that’s what mushroomonserver has for the spores of a Cinctulus
https://imgur.com/gallery/cFKgcFJ Now that I relook at this set of photos it almost looks like I’m seeing a brown tint to those spores.
This is the habitat of the specimen https://imgur.com/gallery/L87I9mS
And here are some photos I tried to take that were better then the imgur link.
250x (I think)(next time I’ll make sure to notate the magnification level.)

1000x

400x

This is where it looks brown not jet black and if it’s supposed to be thick cell walled then why can I almost see through it?
Thanks for any information, also if anyone wants to give me some pointers for next time I know my technique needs tuning.
EDIT: There are more macroscopic photos in my library if these aren’t enough for a positive identification.

Definitely Panaeolus, hard to tell which one without lots of microscopy or DNA sequencing.
Black spores look brown with a microscope because some light shines through them.

Thanks Mr. Rockefeller, sir. I just learned something. I will continue my research and do my due diligence in documenting.
I am going to spend some time this evening or in the morning really using the search engine here on shroomery, I’ll admit my impatience when searching first and not giving it my all. Amazing how just learning about microscopy I can relate it to so many other things in my life like no point committing to something unless willing to be fully committed.

If you want microscopy to be useful, you will need to invest in eye piece reticle so you can measure the different structures. Stage calibration slide is also needed.

Sweet, I was wondering how I was going to go about measuring the spore length. Someone had gifted me a usb microscope that attaches to a computer and it came with a calibration tool.
I'll look those up, thanks Doc!

You got habitat pics?

There are computer programs that you can use to measure with that type of microscope, Alan Rockefeller can tell you or maybe someone else will know and chime in.

This is Panaeolus cinctulus imo, if the stems are reddish color it's Panaeolus papillionaceus
