Yello fungi loving fellows.I am a long time mushroom gatherer, but a total novice on this forum and as such ,please excuse and tolerate my questions if they were answered previosuly. I found myself hiking across South America and the circumstances forced me (Closed borders and curfews) to camp outside a small town in Southern Chile It is autumn here in Chile, rains a lot, few sunny days a week, and temperatures around 10-15'C during the day, close to 5'C at night. Kinda like a fall in BC,Canada... This beauty grew right beside my tent, from what looks like an old dung in the grass. It has a dark brown sporeprint, the biggest mushroom on the first picture is 10cm tall, stalk 4mm diameter at the top, 7mm at the base. Cap 4,5 cm diameter.Does not stain blue as far as i can tell.Grows in partial shade, at a small clearing at the edge of the pine forest and a sparsely grazed grassy field with cow and horse dung everywhere. Could this be a panaeolus of some kind? What better time to learn around the variety of fungi than now ,when they grow all around me and i cannot go anywhere.. Any comments are welcome and thank you all in advance.
* Habitat What kind of trees were nearby? mostly pine, few other conifers. What was it growing from? old dung in the grass, unsure if cow or horse. Both are frequent in the are * Location Where in the world was it? Aourhern Chile * Gills What do they look like? Always try to take photos that show the gills of both young and mature mushrooms.please see pictures * Stem Carefully dig it out of the ground so you can get a picture of the whole thing. * Spore print color (if you have time) dark brown * Scent of the mushroom.n/a * Color that the mushroom bruises when damaged.No visible immediate bruising * Anything else you might find important

Thank you Allium and MpSeph both for confirmation. If I may ask a quick rookie follow up question, the area I find myself in looks like a fungi heaven at this time of a year. I have made quite few spore prints so far, and seen shades from yellow, pink to dark brown and black. Is it safe to assume that until I find either purplebrown sporeprint ,or blue bruising body, or preferably both, it is not worth bugging the community with ID requests as it is likely Non active species? I have been hunting mushrooms for over 3 decades for culinary purposes, i know my favorites by heart, but i am finding out that the active kind had somehow slipped my attention and i have a huge gap in my knowledge base !!
Thank you again

I Don't Mind Identifying Non Actives, I Might Not Always Be Able To Tell You What Species They Are, But I Can Tell You If They Are Indeed Active Or Not.
I Enjoy Looking At Other People's Finds, Active Or Not, But Yes Psilocybe's Will Have A Purpleish/Brownish Spore Print & Most Will Bruise Blueish Where Injured/Damaged.
