Possibly destroyed my libs?

Hi shroomerites!
I picked a few hundred liberty caps last week, and since I still live with my parents, I lay them out in the boot of my car to dry (which had worked fine before). I checked them over the next few days and noticed that some of the libs had deteriorated into a black gooey mush. I removed as much of these as I could and managed to get rid of most of them, but... having to work constantly over a few days, they got neglected a little bit.
Anyway... some of the libs survived this and are completely dried now. Problem is, so is the black mush, and it's stuck to my mushrooms. I don't think this black goo is a contaminant. It's just rotten mushrooms, right? I know I don't want this stuff in my stomach, and the last thing I want whilst tripping is to get the shits or stomach pains!
So, how do you suggest I salvage these libs. Would making them into tea help kill any bacteria from the rotten libs? How about the libs that have a tiny bit of black spots on them, can I make them into tea, or should I carefully remove as much of the black material as I can?

Yeah, they were 100% liberty caps. I've had this problem before when I stupidly left fresh mushrooms in an enclosed space, the moisture just destroys them. Do you think they will be fine to make tea from?

I'd tea them for sure... kills most bacteria and mold. In fact I only ever drink teas, less harsh on the stomach that way.
Might find someone more cautious than me, though I've not poisoned myself yet over the years.

Since libs are mainly psilocybin and not psilocin you should be able to boil them fifteen to twenty with no noticable potency loss, definitely boil them at least fifteen minutes but I'm not even sure then it would be safe to consume. Does anyone know if boiling 15 minutes+ kills the bacteria when shrooms go bad and black and gooey and nasty smelling? I don't know if I'd drink that if it was pressure cooked for an hour . Doesnt mean its not safe maybe someone can give the answer
