Those look like they could be Psilocybe cubensis.
If so, the spore print will be dark purple.
Where abouts did you find them?

I second P. cubensis as the likely identification.
The smaller cap in the photo has some obvious spore deposits, likely from a larger mushroom hovering above it. It looks purple to me.

Do some research- type "Psilocybe cubensis" into google photo search and compare photos to what you remember these looking like before picking.

Nice, and wow - it sounds like you might have the motherload in that crap pile! If there's a ton of mushrooms, be careful to not get lazy identifying them. Be sure about every one.

I agree that it is difficult sometimes to distinguish black from purple-black. Yours look like they could go either way - but I think they are purple black. They are certainly cubes. And someone can correct me, but I don't believe that there is any mushroom on cow dung in florida with a black or purple black spore print that would be poisonous (except perhaps for an alcohol inky, which your mushroom is not). Nice spore print though, but as others have said, nice finds - thems look like cubies!
