What's the best resource for learning to differentiate between fungal fruiting bodies. I seem to remember in college we had a book that we could use to ID them. Is there a better way?

Is that spearmint? Do those cyans smell minty-fresh?

The lighter colored guy is just a little more dry than the others. One of the identifying features of psilocybe is that they are hygrophanous, meaning the cap goes from dark caramel to light brown/grey upon doing out. More wet = more dark and visa versa

Exactly. Same species, just the cap has dried out.
Heres an example picture. Compare the foreground-centered Ps cyan with the lightening cap to the other ones pictured:

Although, this is a little bit misleading, because there are actually some Psathyrellas in that photo to the righthand side.
But yes, the one lighter one you have is just the same thing but happened to dry out some
