ID help please - p. semilanceata

Hey,
Just got in from a bit of a hunt and found about 70 or so shrooms. I think about 47 of them have a good chance of being libs, but the others I am not so sure, mainly because they are darker colour and slightly larger (although i suspect this can be attributed to age as these ones were found in another field.
Details:
Habitat: Pastures that seemed to have been recently grazed by sheep. Nearly all specimens were found in tufts of longish, dewey grass.
Gills: dark brown
Stem: Between about 3cm and 10cm
Light coloured specimens: Stem is almost the same colour as the cap (creamy), sometimes maybe a little bit darker. Most do bruise blue.
Dark coloured specimens: Stem fades from very dark brown at the bottom to lighter brown the top.
Cap:
Light coloured specimens - Diameter between 5mm and 12 mm, mostly cream coloured, some fading to orangey brown. Smooth cap which is slimy and sticky when wet. Conical shape with nipple on top.
Darker coloured specimens - Diameter between 1cm and 2cm, some are creamy, some are darker orange/brown, a couple are very dark brown. Many have a darker brown band around the rim of the cap.
I am taking some spore prints at the moment so ill post the results when they come through.
Some pics:

Darker Shrooms:
Thanks!

I would agree with that, but I also think that there are at least two P. semilanceata in the second row of your third picture. I also think that the top right-most mushroom of your first picture looks a bit suspicious.
Not sure what they (the darker ones) are, but maybe some inactive Panaeolus.

I believe these are all liberty caps apart from the top right one - it's an inactive species.

Again, all look good for Psilocybe semilanceata apart from the second one from the right on the bottom row.
I'd just toss the darker ones.

I agree. The darker, smoother ones could be Panaeolina foenisecii or a Conocybe.

Heya took the ones that ashton and pinback advised last night. Great trip, allowed for some very deep thought and was really smooth with some nice visuals too.
Enpo, from what I could tell both fields were previously grazed from sheep until pretty recently.
