Northern Tasmania

Question

There was recent rainfall, so I decided to stroll through a cow paddock.

The ground was surprisingly still very dry.

Popping up on this cow pie were these tiny specimens (photo 1).

They're relatively small (see 50 cent piece) and I don't see any staining.

The spores that have dropped appear dark (I don't have a microscope to give a more precise color).

Thoughts?

I think you're right. Spores have dropped and they're a beautiful purple.
