Found these mushrooms growing in a clump of what is probably hare poop.

I think that it is a Deconica coprophila, or "dung-loving psilocybe". It used to be classified in the Psilocybe genus, but it does not show blue bruising and is non-hallucinogenic, and was moved into a different genus.

This even smaller mushroom was also growing in the same clump. I think it is the same species, but it might be a different one:

Could be - I am not 100% sure of the ID, Deconica coprophila is my best guess.

These mushrooms are very small though. Here is another photo where you can more clearly see how small they are:

Wow, the scale is really throwing me off here. Is that mushroom as tiny as I’d assume if it’s growing off rabbit poop?

Yeah, these are tiny. Here you can see the size relative to a thumb!
