PNW ID request Edit: Added pics

Habitat: backyard in pacific NW. Grass shavings are left on the lawn after mowing and straw sporadically was spread throughout the lawn during the wintertime so this is a possible reason for the growth.
Gills: brownish black
Stem: whitish with very minor coloration upon picking
Cap: Cone shape with a whitish brownish color
Spore Print: brown/purple
I believe it could be a liberty cap but idk. The spore print made me feel a bit more sure about it. I wish my digicam wasnt busted otherwise I could hook up pictures.

can't say much without pictures. but odds are it's not something worth eating.
liberty caps generally grow in pastures during fall, not lawns in the spring.

Ok so after a second flush in the yard I am pretty sure they are p subbs with the brownish cap with light bruising and black spore print. no spiral on stem though?


Any help would be appreciated!

The one in the center definitely looks like Panaeolus Subbalteatus to me.
In terms of all of them, if they print brown they are foes, if they print jet black they are subbs.
Speaking of spiraling on the stem -- macroscopic features like this aren't strongly present 100% of the time.
I can see some lines on the stems, however.

See I thought the lines were 100% but the Spore Print is so black it's purplish and the bruising is light but not blueing. It's funny I can't grow inside but randomness thrives in my yard!
