UK newbie to hunting, first mushroom pick at 3am UK time.

Habitat: Underused park football field, very wet environment, moist, found around the edges of the grass, the football fields have toads living amongst them too so this proves the wet Marsh like environment. These foot ball fields are usually water logged when it rains. These mushrooms sort of look like liberty caps. These were only found in a very small area on the fields and were not found on the opposite fields.
It was raining heavily when I picked these if they are not libs they at least I can always rule this one out hahaha Gills:
Brown
Stem: Thin, white around 6-7cm
Cap: Conical /Bell like shape, brown in colour to light brown
Spore print color:
Have not checked spore print, haven't researched this
Bruising:
Stems have turned darker , they were originally light white/almost clear
Other information: Scent
They smell like any normal mushroom I would say although more earthy
I've added photos in the comments
Edit : Stems aren't straight, quite curved, the fields are regularly fertilised. You can smell the shit they use.
They were only growing in a small part of this field not the whole part, I did not find any similar looking mushroom anywhere else in the park

Damn man that is shit although I thought they do look sort of like liberty in terms of their small size and stem shape. Stems aren't straight, quite curved, the fields are regularly fertilised. You can smell the shit they use.
They were only growing in a small part of this field not the whole part, I did not find any similar looking mushroom anywhere else in the park.

Looks coprinoid, or perhaps young parasola species.

The fields are fertilised with manure regularly though, they left behind brown marks on some white tissue when I tried them, their stems pretty much went black

They look like they have a slick, slimy feeling Stipe (stem). Liberty caps will not feel slimy or very smooth, even when wet.
Additionally, none of these have a papilla (nipple-looking structure) on the top of the caps.
You're right that they are one of the mushrooms commonly mistaken for P. semilanceata.
Keep hunting! Watch for colder nights than we're currently getting in the middle to lower parts of England.
