Judgment on a small dose of shrooms

I purchased half an eighth of shrooms at school and decided I wanted to bring them home and use them with friends during my Christmas vacation. The shrooms were already entirely dried out, and came from a batch that I'd already used successfully about a month ago. To transport them on an airplane, I felt it necessary to smuggle them via subway sandwich in order to avert suspicion should I have to empty my pockets. Sadly, I also had the poor judgment to include honey mustard ( ) on this sandwich...When I liberated them from the veggie footlong, they were soaked through and instead of being gray were turning dark blue/black. Obviously, this was just a result of the honey mustard soaking them. This occurred about three weeks ago.
I've tried to dry them out since using a heat lamp on a low setting, and indeed they are dry, but are now permanently dark brown and smell strongly of honey mustard. Also, I checked on them a week ago and a few of the caps had a stringy white mold growing on them. I dried them out further, and as of today the growth of the mold doesn't seem to have extended beyond the few caps at the extent it was a week ago. However, I'm not sure if the overall dark color of the shrooms is a result of mold or just the honey mustard. They are dry but I'm thinking it's possible that the mold (if it is mold) could still be dangerous even if I've "killed it."
I've attached pictures and would appreciate advice, as I'd really like to enjoy them and don't have many access points to shrooms at home. (And also spent $40 for this dose).

Oh yeah: If mold is possibly present, would it make more sense to make tea rather than ingesting them whole?

I laughed out loud, great post. I can't wait to see the responses.
Heat drying is bad, use air flowing over the fruits. I'll bet the honey mustard makes the mushrooms taste even worse than they normally taste. 
If I were you I would not consume those.

Reason: This forum is for helping to diagnose substrate contaminants in mycology projects. It's not here, nor is anyone qualified to pass judgment on something you bought at school that doesn't even resemble anything edible, based on the pictures.
