Could you take another picture in natural sunlight? It helps to see the true color that way.

The lack of a dark band encircling the outer part of the cap threw me off the trail to cinctulus. Everything else… most notably, the non bell shaped caps… fits well.

listed authors are bolton and saccardo from 1887 on index fungorum, why are there 46 observations with bolton and britzelmayr listed as the authors?

Panaeolus acuminatus, as described by Kuo.

But, the ones seen here have caps that are neither bell shaped nor conic. Actually, the broadly convex tannish caps seem a bit unusual for Panaeolus. The spores for this collection are a bit small for acuminatus; but a few of them show the “lemon shape” that Kuo mentions.
But I assure you that the print was pure black, with no trace of brown or purple. The photo was indeed snapped at night, with interior lighting. The little bit of textural variation seen nearby the top of the print in reflection of the light. I did try to find the best spot inside the room so that this was minimized. Good eye Byrain!
