Northern Louisiana ID help please...

found in a shady corner of cow/horse pasture, early morning > hour after dawn, rural road.
gills are greyish brown, the flash on my camera sort of washed them out but you can still get a hint of the color and a good idea of the structure....

stems were long and relatively slender, very pale, photographed specimen was over 6" tall. no obvious blueing several hours after a stem was snapped.
this cap is about 2.5" wide, as you can see... very light golden brown at the center, fading to very pale at the edges, tissue is firm, no obvious blueing from rough handling...

sorry i'm a newb, my "spore print" sucks... its got a very dark purplish tint

ok now that's out of the way, let me say here that i am very familiar with cubensis... lately i have gotten into growing my own, as they are becoming more and more of a hassle to find, even in rural louisiana. most of the farmers around here are dicks and don't take kindly to "goddamned dopeheads" on their land.
i see in the growfaq that there are other kinds of active mushrooms growing in LA, but being ignorant savages we relied on the folklore handed down through the generations of heads and stuck with what we could readily ID (cubensis)
so, what is this, guys? i was thinking it could possibly be a liberty cap... and don't worry, i'm not going to gobble them down anytime soon, i'm just really curious to know if we've been bypassing active mushies all these years....
cheers mates, love this site

Not active, and it's a far cry from p. semilanceata.

That doesnt resemble a liberty cap or any other active mushroom ive ever seen in any way at all. Not even close. Libs dont even grow in Louisiana or anywhere in the souther US. They grow in the PNW. Sounds like someone needs to have a look around this site...

I don't think its a panaeolus. The fluting and furled edges are what lead me to believe its either a psathyrella or coprinus.
Is that a pic of gills becoming black goo...?

it looks like he doesnt know how to take a spore print, like he pressed the cap down and smeared it around or something.
it looks like a panaeolus antillarum, the habitat fits, the spore print fits, and even the cap just looks like an overly matured one. you say the gills look lighter? shit son that ones so old all the spores are probably already long gone by now, you wouldn't be able to judge it by that.
IMHO thats a pan ant.
