Thanks, they all look like libs to me too but there's a couple I'm iffy on. I'll attach a better pic.
I did not get a pic of the land, something to do next time. It was farmland though, mainly cows to my knowledge as they weren't around; but it's all next to a forest with lots of mossy forest floor type covering where libs don't grow, with the patches of grass next to that containing libs; so they don't need huge amounts of grass to grow I don't think. There were bigger, open fields, but I found more near the forest on the edges where the grass was more sparse.
Lots of garbage everywhere, which was sad to see; how can people take mushrooms and still disrespect the sacred land that gives them those mushrooms?

seeing those new pics I am suspicious of the pair with flatter caps. do the stems feel any different? those two look like panaeolus
that’s interesting to hear about the habitat, i’m hoping to find more spots with shorter grass and i’ve heard that libs like that springy kinda moss

Yep pretty sure those are dung roundheads as someone pointed out, but also harmless. Pretty sure the rest are good, maybe not enough for a trip yet, though.
Short grass is so much better, I could never have found these in the thick, matted tall grass that can be so common around here. I also feel like I didn't get that many considering I could actually see with the short-medium grass, and it took me 5 hours to find all of these.
I don't feel like I missed many, either; but who knows. Hoping to find a spot that produces a bit thicker flushes.

Western is seeing them 

Liberty, on a crisp October morning


And here's my picks, the left is the rejects I think I did okay
But the gills is from the most pointed one, am I right in saying semilanceata
Edit: second one from the right is a goner, stem is looking off I think?? I'm new to this so not beat at IDs

Yep, you got libs all right! Your weather out there is usually a bit warmer so it's not surprising it took a bit longer for them to pop up out your way.
The 2nd on the right side does look a little off to me too, but I can't say for sure from that picture. The others on the right are libs, though!

awesome to see you all out picking now, hopefully no one is bothered by me sharing some of my pictures here. there's not an official eastern north america thread this year and i enjoy checking this one
 

i found a fair bit yesterday, not as lucky at the spots i looked today which turned up none, wondering if hayfields are a no go entirely. im quite eager to get a better understanding of the habitat requirements!

No worries at all man the more the merrier imo,
Great to see we're all successfully picking some now
Went to the same spot twice yesterday first run wasnt a whole lot, second run I found a couple decent patches:


Even with the few that I'm finding here tho, it still feels like this season is weird for it.. everywhere has been experiencing a late and scarse one this year

Haven't had any luck finding recently out west,
we've had a couple snowfalls now and there wasn't a liberty in sight last few times I've been out there's one spot I goes to first that's a nice little area of fruits, sadly after the snow it hasn't been coming back with any fresh one 
Might go again soon weather and time depending but it looks like everything's getting down to extreme cold and all the plant life and mushrooms are starting to disappear til the next season
Atleast I found a good handful this year, and knows exactly what to be looking for next fall

That's brutal, I can't imagine it only lasted a couple weeks! I've seen posts on here of people claiming to find them in December/early January under the snow, so hopefully we get a few more flushes yet! Very worrisome that it seems to have dried up where you are, though.

They're still out! Not as many as before, but that's likely due to other hunters.
