Libs or pans? 1

I'm trying to find some libs. I don't think I found any, but still wondering if there are any of these that may be one. Could it all be pan sp?
Found these on short grass 3 to 5 meters close to water. A place where a lot of geese hang out and poop.

I popped all the caps off and attempted to spore print them. This is what was left after 8 hours:

I am still struggling to identify properly. Mostly because there are so much variety in photos I've seen of libs. Some have nipples, some don't. Some are symmetric, some aren't. I guess it makes sense in a way that each mushroom is different, but it makes it harder to find the right ones at least before I have seen a proper lib in person.
I think I read somewhere that the caps should be hard to break apart when they are slightly dry, like a leathery consistency. And when the caps are wet, there should be transparent layer that can be peeled off the cap? Should the cap come easy off the stem, or should that also be hard to do? Should the stem also be hard to break apart? Would the stem be crispy (snapping sound) or not?

Mix of panaeolus foenisecii and possibly panaeolus cinctulus.
Where are you in the world, ps semilanceata may not even grow where you are. Also libs grow where theres livestock not geese.

I live in scandinavia, so I know there are libs here  However I don't live near any pastures so I tried searching in nearby parks and graveyards. I guess nothing beats a good pasture though, I probably need to take the bus to a more remote location.

It's still quite early for Psilocybe semilanceata here in the nordics, eventhought there has been some reported finding. I recommend checking for forest paths with grasses growing, if you have forests nearby. Search for older nordic and baltic semilanceata threads here in the shroomery and you can find some photos of different kind of habitats. Livestock is not a necessity for the occurrence of Psilocybe semilanceata.

Thank you for the good advice! I have read through several of the old nordic threads now. And also learned that it is good to look for grass that has Rhytidiadelphus squarrosus moss growing in it. + looking in high grass tufts of Deschampsia cespitosa. It's nice to have these extra indicators.
I will definitely check out grassy forest paths. I guess these paths are better if they are natural. So I should avoid the forest paths that are made with gravel.
