Are these Psilocybe semilanceata?

Hi there people, It's season here in New Zealand and these little guys have been springing up ALL OVER THE PLACE - sports fields and gulf courses and lawns.

 I haven't shroomed for about 10 years but was provoked by my memories and a renewed curiosity. Had a couple of great trips on liberties when I was about twenty but a mate prepared them and I'm being more cautious nowadays and doing websearches. I'm pretty sure they're the same as I remember but some input from experienced shroomers would be greatly appreciated.

They are coprinus species - so no they are not liberty caps.

your picture on the top on the newspaper are Mycena.....dont want to mess with those can be poison and very hard to distinguish.....def not Libs....couple of those brown colored caps in that mix might also be poisonous Conocybe.....cant see clear enough....they will have a usually somewhat rusty brown spore color......Coprinus have black spore color and gills when they're that old....those ones dont...
And your pic on the bottom never opened up.....but def not Libs (Ps. semilanceata).....learn how to take spore prints....cap with gills down and see what color it leaves on the paper.....Libs have a dark purple chocolate brown color to purple black (there are also poisonous mushrooms with this same color) but you have to leave it there long enough as it can take a while sometimes or sometimes kind of quik.....

They do sort of have the same shape (the top pics) but it's easy to dismiss them straight away as they have (1) whitish coloured gills and (2) there is no evidence of blue bruising.
