Dried Mushroom Identification

These are from someone in northern Georgia if that helps.
Sorry for the picture quality but all I have is my not so great phone camera.
Thanks in advance for any help.
The lighter and game are for size reference.
Edit: Trying to provide more details.
I think what i'm looking at are the gills and they are totally white and fused together.

Did you pick those yourself or get them from someone? If you picked them it would help to know what type of environment you found them in. They definitely do not look like cubensis.

Guessing he means portobellos...the larger version of Agaricus Bisporus
Tough to ID dry mushrooms...

Are you sure? The gills are underneath the cap. The only underside of a cap I see is the one in the bottom left and it doesn't appear white. But yeah, not cubenesis. Doesn't look like anything edible you'd buy in a store. Might be random mushrooms collected in the wild. Though "totally white and fused together" gills sounds like there is a dried bolete in that collection. The one with the fat stipe, for example. Stipe looks "boletish". In any case, if someone sold those to you you got ripped off. Ask them what they are supposed to be.

i agree that they are not cubensis. however, is that blue bruising or is it my imagination? boletus bicolor would explain the bruising (if it is in fact blue bruising).

I think it is your imagination, it looks like reddish/brown bruising to me.

thanks for the replies.
i bought them from someone that i trust and i will try to give them a call and ask if they know what they are.
i'm charging an old camera to see if i can get you guys some better pictures.
if it's any help, they are super pungent and smell like all the other shrooms i've ever partaken of.
new, hopefully better pics coming soon.

I hate to say it, but I wouldn't trust that person if they bent you over like this. Keep your friends close, but your enemies closer. It would not be in your interest to consume them.

until i know what they are i won't take them but why the assumption that they are bunk until the are identified?

While there are many types of psilocybe-active mushrooms, none of them to my knowledge look like that. Dried or otherwise.

i hope i can get some better pics when me camera is done charging.
i really appreciate your guys' input on this. i've been looking forward to doing this as it's been almost a year since last i got to.
they certainly smell like all the other shrooms i've ever tried.

i suspect either 1 of 3 things.
1. they are boletus that bruised blue and your "friend" thought they were active (because they bruised blue) and sold them to you. however, some blue bruising boletus are poisonous and should definitely not be consumed.
2. this is a long shot (a very long shot). they are dry amanita muscaria (fly argaic) and the picture quality is terrible. however, from the looks of them i highly doubt this to be true.
3. you just got ripped off (most likely the case).
take more pictures if you would like. however, i am sticking with my original idea and that is, feed them to the trash can.
