I don't see the blue bruising you mentioned.
Looks to be a coprinoid species, perhaps something in Coprinellus or Coprinopsis.

None of tbose look like the ones I have or were near it when I went picking. The only reason they seem flat is because of the narrow bag I put them in while collecting.

You already have one, a coprinoid mushroom (aka an inky cap) in the family Psathyrellaceae, likely Coprinellus sect. Setulosi (=Coprinus subsect. Setulosi). If there is a name for it, the first place to look will be that key I linked you. You could also consider Parasola (= Coprinus subsect. Glabri), see this key for that.

See the key at the top for how to choose which key would help more.

Are you trying to get high, or are you trying to discover new species of mushrooms?

In that case, throw these away and look for Psilocybe cubensis and Copelandia cyanescens growing directly from cow manure.

These were growing directly on cow manure. It rained pretty decent the last two days, and heavily this morning. When do you think the best time to go check again would be?
Oh, and I'm in central florida, Daytona area.

Check different fields once per day until you find them.

Will it be good to wait a few days until after the rain has soaked up into the manure/grass or should I start tomorrow and they should be already growing good? That was all the shrooms I found on that one pasture, nothing else had even started to grow on the (over 50) other manure build ups.

Go out every day until you find them. They are probably already out there right now.
I have been talking to some friends and I know that the mushroom season is good in your area right now. Almost certainly your area is the best in the whole USA this week. Half the USA is frozen and the other half is dry, leaving Florida as the only place to be if you want to find fungi. I almost booked a flight there the other day. Go get them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've been looking for as many cow pastures I can (that are easily accessible without an owner coming out with a 12 gauge wondering what I'm doing sifting through his cow manure) but I hear they just grow in the grass here and in the forest so I'm hopefully going to try and find some good spots here. I'm in Daytona area, so East/Central Florida. I hope I find some in the next few days and have an enjoyable experience on them.

The psilocybin mushrooms that grow in the grass are Panaeolus cinctulus and perhaps P. olivaceus. They are not nearly as strong or common as the dung loving species, so most psilocybin mushroom hunters in Florida stick to cow pastures. It would be a good idea to get permission to hunt on some nice cow farms.
