Probaly Coprinus. I'm no Liberty Cap expert, but I don't think libs would be up this time of the year in North America. Wait a few hours and see if the cap melts off, if the cap melts into a goo... you've got Coprinus. Take a spore print. Tell us where you live.

i live in tx in an area in between houston and galveston, and i'll try to take a print, but i cant find any dark colored paper, i'll most likely have pics tomorrow cuz i'll have access to a digi cam, and they dont have a 'wet' looking cap, it's completely dry and dry looking, no slimy stuff or n e thing

Hey, that's the same exact thing I found in my yard this morning! Except the caps on mine were a little lighter, but other than that, exactly the same! See my thread from earlier (Challenge for Good IDer).

Liberty Caps, and even though its not their season, i would expect that the location of texas and the rains would make the spawning of these shrooms possible. Look at the "Magic Mushroom Field Guide" in the Grow/Find section. here's another pic... wit big nipples.

the gills arent that dark, but does it matter, and are you 100% sure that that's what they are? and on the field guide it says liberty caps bruise blue on the margin of the caps

ya, it just rained here today, and would it be a good idea to eat them, im not gonna until i get a 100% ok on what they are, the gills arent as dark as any of the other liberty caps i seen, in the pic i posted a few posts up, the whitest area on the gills is probly almost the exact color of the gills, but as they've been drying for a while now, they've gotten extensively darker

Linbety caps do not grow in Texas and they do not grow from manure.
Texas has P. cubensis and some Copelandia species which both are found in manure.

You have Psathyrella's and Coprinus species and none of your images are magic.
Watch what some people tell you about your shrooms becasue they are not corret in what they posted here.

DO not eat those shrooms.
And agaoin, those are not liberty caps.

defintly not liberty caps, but they do grow everywhere in cold-temperate areas practically, but I think Texas is a bit too far south. I don't know how much you know but here is a list of mushrooms that grow in texas, other alternatives.
----------------------------------------------------------------- Texas* Amanita muscaria Copelandia cambodgeniensis Gymnopilus aeruginosus Gymnopilus luteofolius (Peck) Singer. (Stamets, 1996). Gymnopilus luteoviridisrle) Singer. (Alexopolous & Jackson, 1976. Gymnopilus sapineus Gymnopilus spectabilis Panaeolus subbalteatus Psilocybe cubensis
"A North American Distribution of Psychoactive Fungi" -----------------------------------------------------------------
You might wanna go for the cubensis, and the subbalteatus as they grow alot around texas. For sure some cubensis would grow on cow fields, and pastures, and subbaltatus too. Both these species are 2 of the three species that grow most in N. America.
