This is my first time doing shrooms. I just want to ask you if these be edible.
Man whatever you do do not trust someone on a BBS to tell you if it's okay to eat a mushroom or not. Not that someone here would lie to you but you do not want to make that decision by information posted by someone. Take into account what they have to say if you wish.
But you need to find out on your own. Who did you get them from? Where did they get them. Did you pick them yourself? Do you know what to pick?
Just by looking at those, unless they are really old I don't see any blueing on them. But some don't. Post the spore print if you can.

Hmm they don't look shroomy to me. But you need to take a spore print of all of them separately to see the colours they produce. Also try bruising one and notice of there is any blueing. Also try to remember the exact environment you picked them from. Were they grouped together or separated? You need to be 100% sure of the species before you even think of eating them. Also post a thread on Shroomery like people have suggested.
They look like the genus Panaeolus. Not sure about the species. Get the variables we chatted about in IRC.
This. This or Panaeolina foenesecii Stems do look kind of thick so it could be P. cintulus, but the best way to tell is a spore print. Jet black, we got yo' back. Tints of purple and brown and turn it down (use this rule with Panaeolus only). To let you know there is NO known toxic Panaeolus or Panaeolina species but I'd always get from get a gander from a TI just in case.
I bet you they said P. foenesecii. Was the habitat dung or soil?
You should probably ask the kind folks over at the shroomery forum (http://www.shroomery.org/). Someone over there would definitely know. Or you could read a mushroom identification e-book.
Also NEVER THINK YOU HAVE A MUSHROOM PINNED DOWN TO A SPECIES UNLESS YOU HAVE MICROSCOPIC DATA OR IT IS EASY TO IDENTIFY MACROSCOPICALLY
Go purchase The Audubon Society's Filed Guide to North American Mushrooms to take with you on the field as it is superior to the guide I linked to. Having at least one reference makes it easier to get an idea of what you're dealing with in the field.
Also, if you do decide to purchase mushrooms from a dealer, question them on the spot as to where and how they got them. If they do not look like dried Psilocybe cubensis, DO NOT PURCHASE/EAT. It is extremely rare to find a Psilocybe on the black market other than cubes unless you know the well experienced hunter personally. Most keep that kind shit for their own collections
I ate them all before I got 1 reply on here. Felt good man
Seriously albeit these were MOST LIKELY not deadly, you have SHOWN a behavior that RISKED YOUR LIFE. NEVER EVER EVER EVER eat an unidentified mushroom,
lest you might eat one of these ....
THIS is the face of the most agonizing death humans can encounter.
It takes over a week for these to cause liver failure. These are KNOWN to contain the same amatoxins as Amanita phalloides, Amanita occreata, and other members of Amanita, sect. Phalloides.
Might I add that these look IDENTICAL to some Psilocybe species macroscopically? In fact, they are in the same family and are even SISTER CLADES. The only difference is a rusty brown spore print and the lack of bruising (some have been alleged to bruise black though).

I might.
LOL dude that highlighted sentence you quoted me on was dripping with sarcasam.
Are you following me?
j/k, but are you going to be a bltc regular?
i just pop in once in a while to make snarky comments and try to get people to do salvia.
Good thing your tone of voice made that readily apparent.
Wait..

Use Subbedhunter's Complete Guide to P. cinctulus
IT'S DANGEROUS TO GO ALONE. TAKE THIS.
