I am not sure what to say, some of those almost look like sclerotia. There is a chance that they are magic mushrooms, however if someone tried to sell them to me I would say no.
They look like puffballs and shiitake covered in powdered sugar.
It is basically unknown fungal material. 99% of the time when you buy magic mushrooms, it is clear what species you are getting. In this case, it is not. That should be a huge red flag....

Well they are turning blue on a few caps so I'm guessing they are indeed active. Would you be interested in hearing a experience report later? I'd be happy to contribute

I do not see anything about the appearance of that mushroom that indicates that it is a psilocybin containing species. Maybe it is and maybe it is not, I can not tell what it is. I would not advise paying money for that or eating it. Might be....umm....brownies cooked with cubensis rolled in powdered sugar? Or shiitake rolled in flour? Oysters from the supermarket? Death caps and sand? Hard to say.
If I was trying to buy magic mushrooms and I was handed this, I would absolutely reject it. And that is my advice to you.
What do you mean by turning blue on the caps? Does that mean he sprayed ink on it or something? Can you post a pic showing this?
Sorry for being skeptical, but given the circumstances and appearance of these mushrooms, extreme skepticism is warranted. You are being ripped off.

If you look on the picture the two shrooms under the one i'm holding have some blue around the spores. I tried rubbing it off thinking it was dirt but it's not. A few others are like that too but around the cap itself. I'll try to take another picture later i'm charging my iPhone right now

I've come to the conclusion that these are some strange batch of penis envy, there are some shrooms in the other bags I have that strongly resemble them.

Nothing that you have posted suggests in any way that these are "penis envy" or any other form of cultivated Psilocybe cubensis.
I would not advise eating them unless you can provide more definitive pictures/information.

Where are the stems? Very strange indeed.
Could they be button mushrooms dust/ dipped in an RC?
Store boughts have most of the stem trimmed, so might explain that.
An RC of some type would explain the powdery appearance.

I have only seen white caps, psychedelic mushrooms growing out of manure once. They turn light blue and are pretty big size. Apparently they only grow up in PA, on Amish Farms.
Here is a link to them. They show a close up in the video. The TV show is Amish Mafia, check it out.

Maybe your friend saw this episode? These are fake as hell and the show should of disclaimed it. They even put baking soda on the shrooms to kill them. Powdered white shrooms, sound familiar?

Hey guys! It was a very wonderful shroom trip (level 4 with about 3 grams) it felt like any other batch of shrooms just really strong visuals I have no idea what kind of shrooms these are but they do indeed work and work well.

They were all caps when I bought them. I don't think they were store bought at all. I mentioned earlier that they may be some strange batch of penis envy and i'll upload another picture right now, that might help us figure out this mystery

Wow that clip was absolutely horrible... They find random mushrooms which they admit they have no idea what they are, one of the guys eats one mushroom and supposedly starts feeling the effects immediantly after..
That has to be one of the stupidest and most irresponsible or fake things ive ever seen on a TV show.
-------------------- Favorite quote: I want to know if they are active and magic or not. And if they are not active, can i pick them before they are active and then they will become active or do they have to grow till they activate?

Yeah no kidding, they looked like enoki cover in blue food coloring, noticed the camera blurred every time it "showed" them. Discovery channel is a fucking joke now, I remember as a kid it being a respectable channel of mostly science and nature programing but the lowest common denominator seems to be all TV airs anymore. Sometimes I feel like there is a deliberate and intentional dumber-down of American citizens, critical thinking doesn't help the powers that be (I'm looking at you Israel) /rant.
