Have I got some mould here? (PICS)

Hey guys I just picked up one dried ounce of shroomies (you guys think it looks like an O? Gonna get a scale today) I noticed that there are some black-ish bits on some of the caps and stems and was just wondering if this was mould? And if so whether they were still safe to eat? They smell just like shrooms (oh that smell ) so I can't smell anything wrong, and they look great, white and blue and so yummy! Let me know what you guys think, and thanks a lot!

Pics are too small to reach any conclusion but they look ok. If they did look healthy when you pick them and then you dried them really fast, i'd say they are ok. If any of those black capped mushrooms taste any different than the others, don't go any further and toss them. Btw, they look really small, next time let the babies grow a little bit more....

Thanks for replying!
I actually picked these up last night off the street from a close friend of a close friend (emphasize close - i trust her and she trusts him).
I will take bigger pics and post.

Under a more careful eye, it looks like it could just be a LOT of blue-ness, dark blue, light blue. Are these pics of any help?

IMO from what I can see (and how you trust your friend) they seem fine. Dont take solely my advice, however. Take much more than this into consideration. Scrape the dark spots with a cotton swab, does anything nasty come off? It could just be dark bruising, or it could be rotted parts.

Cool.
Even if there is some mould, there are only a few bits in that entire bag that are blackish so I could just toss the black ones and munch down the blue-whitey goodness

They are also very small, I would imagine that they will be reasonably good potency wise.

Well, just ask your friend to ask the seller about contamination. If he says, "Contami-what?" Then either toss those shrooms or take more pics and upload them so people here can ID the mold and/or mushroom.
