You're probably seeing spore deposits.  Is the black on top of the caps and down the stems?

A picture is worth 1000 words. Probably just bruising or spores though...

Yeah, you should probably pick those a little earlier (right as the veil is starting to break), as they look a little overripe, but they look fine to eat.  The black stuff is spores.

I disagree.  The centermost mushroom has a 'black chunk' taken out on the left side.  The OP said the black areas looked decayed. 

I had the same issue a few weeks ago.



OP, do any of your shrooms have areas that look like this?  If so it could bacteria.  What I was told is that they are safe to eat but to get them dried as fast as possible.  One other reply also said they could upset your stomach.

Here's the original thread I posted.  There seems to be disagreement about whether eating them is ok or not.

https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/18787234

Most people say it should be fine.  What I decided to do was cut out the black area.

Picture isn't a very good example. From the picture presented, they look ok.
