1) It does have that Psilocybe look. I think it is Psilocybe coprophila, an inactive species. 2) Agaricus

If it was active it would have dark purple brown spores and be turning blue where it is damaged.
It also helps a lot to know the spore print color - try making spore prints of the mushrooms you find.
> would it be safe to eat?
I would want to know more about it first - the spore print color and a habitat shot would help. There are other mushrooms which look like that. It probably isn't anything you want to eat anyway.

definately not active. a cube would give out a dark purple, almost black print but none of those looks like a cube, a cube has a very obvious blue bruise and will not grow in your region until about june of next year and will stop around spetember. unless u have a really good field i found them in january last year in SC but the farm owner had cows just so he could have shrooms so the field was a gold mine. but those are not active.

if it was in the psilocybe family wouldnt that mean it is active? i thought the name psilocybe came from the active chemical that makes you hallucinate...

Probably a Psilocybe or Psathyrella.
Better pictures would help, use a camera that has macro mode.

No, more than half the Psilocybes are inactive.
