 Possible rot needing to be identified. Detailed photos!

Hey guys, so i've learned a lot from this site, but have finally got a problem that I need help with! A friend and I went for a pick 2 days ago, as we're fairly seasoned hunters, but we've always had a house to dry in. This time, though, we're living out of a van at the moment, and so we made a desiccant chamber from lunchboxes and desiccant that we got from a supermarket. We were about 5 hours away from accommodation, so we decided to put them in the chamber for the drive, then as we got to a motel we sat them under a fan for the night. They were pretty dry come this morning. Not cracker, but dry enough to put in the chamber we figured.
This morning we had to put them back in the chamber without changing the desiccant (a bit of a mistake), and after leaving them in the van while we did our things today, we got back after a few hours and found the mushrooms to be much more moist and less 'cracker'ish than they were earlier in the day. We have now got them under another fan, which we will leave for about 14 hours until we have to leave this location, after which we plan on putting them back in the chamber.
Anyway, here are the images, and hopefully you guys can gauge for us whether or not they're salvageable? Any tips to have the best shot at keeping these good? They're starting to go black (or at least extremely dark blue) especially in the gills and the rim of the cap.
Any help is very appreciated! Cheers guys  .

There's some black from spores and some bruising, nothing that would suggest they are rotten. Given the short period of time since you picked them and the fact that they were at least partially dry I think it's safe to say they are ok.
