ID request - ps. semilanceata

Hello,
I found these on a sheep pasture in Austria. I suspect/hope it is psilocybe semilanceata. Is it possible to tell from these pictures?
Thank you

Some could be non-active Panaeolus sp. too but hard to ID without better pics.
In either case they are 100% not P. semilanceata. Study a few lib descriptions, here is one from this site. http://https://www.shroomery.org/12510/Psilocybe-semilanceata
The main disqualifies for your finds: too straight and brittle looking stems and the lack of the acute umbo hence where the common name Liberty cap comes from. Other than those main features there are subtle things like the color.
Also check out some of the official lib threads in this forum you can look at a lot of pics of them and start to get a feel.
more that anything keep looking and handling mushrooms take pics of them in the field too, that will help with ID.

Slender, straight and skinny whitish stem, hygrophanous greyish cap with pinkish tones and somewhat striate margin. Dark brown to blackish gills.
Obviously Psathyrella. You're likely to need a microscope to get a species name.

Yeah, I noticed the missing nipple but I read somewhere it is not always present. Thanks for the explanation, I will definitely keep looking.

what part of the world are you located in? depending on where you are there may be better actives to look for.

Austria, according to OP.
So yes, a little smorgasbord of species apparently available:

Actually SVK bud near the border with AT. From the info I gathered Semilanceata and Bohemica are the most likely around here. So far no luck though, but I probably found every possible lookalike so I'm getting closer in a sense.

You should look for P. serbica/bohemica in beech and oak forests. From looking at pictures, you'll likely need to look very carefully as they seemingly blend in with the background of fallen leaves and debris. There are a couple of registered finds from Slovakia in the region near Harmónia. I bet they're growing all over your country, though.
Please make sure to bring a camera and take lots of pictures.
Happy hunting!
