ID request from Florida with pics

Hello! This is my first post and I’m kindly requesting an ID on mushrooms that I found yesterday. I have attached pictures of one-day-old moderately air-dried mushrooms. I believe that the larger and smaller specimens may be the same kind. (This is also my first time finding mushrooms.)
Habitat: Central Florida, cow pasture with oak trees and ankle/shin high grass, 85-89 degrees, rain 2-3x per week during October, I found all mushrooms pictured growing in cow manure.
Gills: Purple/brownish gills
Stem: Larger specimens were 3-4 inches long, small specimens were 1-2 inches long. When picked, I saw an immediate blue/purple bruise at the area that was broken, as well as any area that was squeezed. On the larger specimens, I could see a distinct purple ring. (The smaller specimens did not have the purple ring.)
Cap: Larger specimens were originally 2-3 inches wide. Small specimens, were .5 to 1 inch wide. Both were white/tan in color with a darker gold/brownish center circle.
Spore print color: (See pic) purple/black
Bruising: Blue/purple at the area where I picked it from the base. I also saw blue/purple appear in the caps of the smaller specimens.
Thanks for your help. I really appreciate you for taking your time to read this post.

Welcome!
You're supposed to take pictures before they dry and not after, ideally at the location they're growing! Identifying dry mushrooms is pretty challenging.
Looks like you've got at least one P. cubensis and a couple Pan. cyanescens spread around (the smaller ones with a very clear blue bruise on them).
I see purple-brown spore prints left on your paper towel, those are likely from the P. cubensis you found, then there's black and black mixed with purple but we can't tell where they came from.
It would be bad advice to tell you that you've got only P. cubensis and Pan. cyanescens though based on a picture of dry mushrooms picked on a field.

Thank you for your help! I appreciate the guidance and I can see how it would be 100x easier to ID the mushrooms if I had pics of them still in the ground first. I’ll definitely do that next time. 😊
