these mushies i found look so yummy, i found them in a nearby field with a friend growing in tall grass, on or near cow shit. Im thinking they might be pan. spectabilis which arent active.(shit) but maybe edible? they look good, they bruised pretty colorfully, deep red and purple also. They range anywhere from 7-9 in max height, stems can be fiarly thick, but are usualy straight, and greyish. gills arent attached to stem but they are dk greyish. spores are def black. theyve been groing up there for 2 weeks now, and more are growing still, tons more. i dont have a print yet, but here are some pics, if anyone could give me some final input, id be relieved. i can def get a print if u need it. just tell me. HorrAy fOr FunGus

Naw, those are nothing alike... You had some ink caps or something. These are Pans, not necessarily the active kind however.

curecat. so far uve been the only one to tell me they are inactive.. ty so much. but today i ventured into borders, out of curiosity, and i found a few mushroom field guids, in all but one of the books, all in all I found these same shrums, they are semiovatus. but it said there are so many varieties of semiovatus, that its hard to even destinquish some apart. and suprisinly it said they were edible, and also that there have been several accounts of "poisioning" (psylocin poisoining that is) well this gave me some insentvie to try them, if they arent actually poisonous, then theres nothing to lose. im going to repost after i eat these, and let everyone know what happens..

Actually, if you look at the second of your photos you can see toothlike remnants of partial veil along the edge of the cap. According to my references that would make your specimens Panaeolus campanulatus.
As far as P. semiovatus goes, I've heard of cases of acute gastric upset from people eating them, so don't be surprised if you end up spending the night losing your lunch in the bathroom. The sporadic and few cases suggesting that they are active tends to me more to suggest misidentification of similar looking active mushrooms.
Happy mushrooming!

I would say they are Panaeolus sphinctrinus. The "toothlike remnants" are a characteristic of that mushroom.
Or you could also call them Panaeolus campanulatus var. sphinctrinus. Same thing.
ALSO, Never eat unidentified wild mushrooms. Did you want to take the chance of poisoning yourself?

GGreatOne234 is correct about the toothed-geared Panaeolus sphinctrinus.
But to the poster of the thread. Ther eis no Panaeolus spectabilis as you named above.
