First shroom hunt results- UK - ID Request

These are the results of my first lib hunt. The first picture are shrooms that i decided were stereotypical to what i percieved libs to look like. I was supprised to find anything at all considering the last few days of mild weather with barely any rain.

Habitat: Grazed pasture. Above 300 meters in the pennines. Particulaly found on damper lusher green areas of amongst wild grasses. Always on slopes? (is this always the case?)
Gills: All adenate. lilac in colour some were darker purples when picked. all have darkened in the twelve hours since picking.
Stem: Mostley white. some darken towards the base. Also slight blueing reactions to larger specimens.
Cap: All olive tint with obtusely conic lower section compiled petruding nipple at the peak.
Spore print color: I took six spore prints five were a dark purple while one seemed black.
This second picture are specimens i gathered into a seperate container. These i am less sure about. They have been labled one to six.
They were found in the same habitat as the previous. All had the same adenate lilac gills all darkening after twelve hours.

Number 1 - was larger - the cap was an inch in diameter and apeared mahoganey in colour(when moist). Allthough in twelve hours it has lightend to the same olive tint as the previous stereotypes. The stalk was similar to the stereotypes only larger in proportion. The spore print came out purple.
Numbers 2 through to 6. Were all more of a bowl in cap shape. and lacked an actual point tip. Instead there was a yellowis fleshy top.
Spore prints of these-
1 purple 2 purple 3,4,5 no print appeared after twelve hours 6 purple to black
I look forward to your responses. I think i did well for my first proper attempt although it did take me around six hours.

The first ones are definitely Ps. semilanceata, nice finds!!
The uncertain ones I would toss out. Looks like a mixed collection.

hard to say about the second pic, they could be libs, but more likely they are a mixed batch of psilocybe semilanceata and stropharia semiglobata, which are commonly found along side libs IME... if in doubt chuck em out

Congradulations on your first find mate.
I seem to come across the mushrooms in your second picture a lot while out hunting for liberty caps too. Sometimes i find it real hard trying to distinguish the difference between the two.

most of the ones on the second picture still look like liberties in my eyes, just older ones perhaps?
check em out for any bruising & take spore prints to be sure if you are that worried!
