Central Ohio shroom ID please?

Cap

Gills

Stem

Habitat: Lawn - I found this growing straight up out of dog poop, underneath a wooded area with many bushes and trees.
Gills: The gill color varies from a sand/tan to a light brownish color.
Stem: White at the base, fading to dark brown towards the gills. There are white imperfections towards the top, looking like random tiny horozontal lines.
Spore Print: The color is almost like coffee or chocolate, but faint on the paper and hard to see all of it (pic below).
Brusing: There were no bruising of any kind that I noticed

It does look like an Inocybe, but those can only be identified to species accurately with a microscope. It's one of the largest genera (several hundred species) and lots of them look like your specimen.
Inocybes often have a strong odor. Does your specimen?
Happy mushrooming!

yes, the dry sample does... it doesn't smell like anything new though. it smells like a lot of other mushrooms i've seen before (which look NOTHING like this).
the thing that puzzles me though, is that there is no brusing of any kind on either the dry samples or the fresh ones. does this mean that they are NOT psychoactive?

Like he said, they are hard to ID without a microscope. With hundreds of others that look almost alike I don't think I would take the chance of eating it.

Just to give you an idea of how indistinguishable this genus can be...
Inocybe geophylla http://www.grzyby.pl/foto/99/991010-34.jpg
Inocybe sororia http://www.mykoweb.com/CAF/photos/Inocybe_sororia(mgw-02).jpg
Inocybe lacera http://www.mushroomexpert.com/images/kuo2/inocybe_lacera_02.jpg
Inocybe rimosa aka fastigiata http://www.mushroomexpert.com/images/kuo2/inocybe_rimosa_01.jpg http://www.rogersmushrooms.com/MediaPath/0A3789772EC74A2D90C99DDC36B7C7E3.jpg
This passage is taken from: http://www.mushroomexpert.com/inocybe.html "No one cares about Inocybes. With a few purple exceptions, they epitomize the label LBM (Little Brown Mushroom), and are characterized by their brown spore prints, their often conical and usually hairy-to-scaly or lacerated caps, and their frequently characteristic odors. There are hundreds of them, and probably hundreds of undocumented, "cryptic" species. For those seeking wild mushrooms for the table, there is not a single good edible in the genus--but there are plenty of poisonous and potentially fatal species (see George Barron's page on muscarine poisoning for further information). For those who like to collect mushrooms and identify them, there are no recent, comprehensive, widely available keys (for North America)--and successful identification always requires a microscope."
