Protostropharia semiglobata maybe.

That's it. It fits the description of Stropharia Semiglobata (Dung Roundhead). Thanks for your help.

That's interesting..... are all of those included in your 2nd pic? Looks like 2 different species to me.... Idk. ? The Proto for sure... and then the small white ones which really look like copes to me. ( Def not antillarum).
Just my observation, and if no blue bruising was noticed from Anything... then I guess they are all inactive.
Best of luck out there, you are close ! Keep looking

Thanks. I'm pretty sure they're all the same species. The big one with the flat cap seemed the most different, but it had some similar characteristics. Of course, I was expecting (hoping) it was some type of Psilocybe and I read that Stropharia are, or are considered to be, in the same genus.
