Safe or not?

Dear Shroomery, I have a certain amount of Psilocybin Subs that have been partially dried in the wrong way due to the lack of a Food Dehydrator, space for a fan and other methods. This has caused a whitey coloured mold that varies from a couple pinpoints to all over the underside of a cap. I have a fair quantity and will be disappointed if I have to throw them out would anyone be able to identify the mold and its toxicity? I did not want to post this in the Contamination form due to it's got nothing to do with growing rather just moldy shrooms. The following pictures might not be the clearest but the mold is quite visible.

If you are desperate for salvaging, cut parts that were not affected by mold.

I have indeed done that and have a fair bit. Though I was wondering the main toxicity because there may be traces on the cut pieces and no one wants a trip to the hospital when they're tripping dicks

Probably this mold penetrated whole mushroom. It's still toxic, but I guess it's better than eating mold hairs. Best advice would be to toss it, but I guess it's up to you what to do with it.

I'm assuming it's trich (that's what's grown on some of mine before when theydidn't fully dry out). It's mildly toxic, but effectively safe to eat unless you make it a regular part of your diet. Should be totally safe, but I don't know if I'd want to be tripping if in the back of my mind I'm wondering if I just ate something harmful.

If they are for your own consumption, you could make a tea with boiling water. The water should be hot enough to kill all the Mold without destroying too many actives.
15 minute low boil should do it.

Even if the mold won't kill you, it is likely to make you sick... you do NOT want to be throwing up while tripping. You will think you're gonna die, which is a horrible feeling. Better safe than sorry. At least cut out the moldy parts.
