Could be. May have begun to rot while drying. Any details on how long they took to dry? Were they kept in a plastic bag before drying completely?

About 2 hours in paper bag for transport, sat stems up on the kitchen table for about five minutes for double check id.. Then about 48 hours with a fan. Come to think of it, there's no guarantee that the table was totally clean when fresh mushrooms were placed on it, and I did notice some discoloration on the ones that were touching the table the longest while double checking. At the time I thought it looked like they were starting to rot on the little spots that were touching table. And even when dried that's what it still makes me think of, just a little rotting. Would that make one sick to eat? Or should these few be discarded?
Thanks!
Ps. Of course not in a plastic bag.. Never

Is it just the hygrophanating cap?

No, although this mushroom does show the same color pattern as a drying mushroom, it is fully dried. The center of the cap will fade faster than the margin once it's picked, turning a buff light tan color, lightening with age, sunlight, drought, but once the edge of the cap dryness matches the center of the cap dryness, the color should be consistent across the cap.
If it helps, I would say those browner parts are more translucent than the rest of the mushroom material. Any other thoughts?
Thanks guys!

Yep it's because you set them onto the table, gills up, instead of on paper towel gills down. That caused the moisture to retain more readily on the edges, which supported the incorrectly place fruiting body, and rotted, sightly, while the rest of the fruiting body dried normally.
I can translate that to the English language for a small fee.
