do you notice bruising?
dried specimens are going to be hard to identify
but i will say those do look like Psilocybes, my guess would be Psilocybe cyanescens
compare to this

Psilocybe Cyanescens
It looks like an 1/8th, they also look on the lower end of the potency it should be an alright trip tho.

Yes, looks just like the bags of mushrooms that you sent to the XAL herbarium in Mexico.

I don't know. I took an 1/8th of Psilocybe Cyanescens which looked exactly like his, and it didn't do much at all. Was a level 1 trip.
2 weeks later I took some that were darker and much more noticeably blue.. 2.5 grams had me on the brink of a level 4.
I can say from experience that each batch varies GREATLY.

for sure, so does tolerance, were you taking MAOIs or SSRs? Could have been old specimens too. Just saying a noob with cyans should not take anything close to a full 1/8 oz

I completely agree, if they were to be normal potency. I was a noob too, and I took 3.5 and it didn't do much. It was just a weak batch, I dropped to 2.5 my next trip because they looked stronger(blueing/darker) and they were. I wasn't on any anything, just a weak batch of cyans I had.

the bluing is an oxidation of the psilocin molecule.... its psilocin that makes you trip. The more bluing the less potent. I would want no bluing, well very little if unidentified.
But YES! not to say you are wrong at all....

The black is spore deposit, and the mushrooms you ate before were likely a different species - that's why they looked different. What you have there is just fine for consumption.

To op, I'd start with 2.0 grams. If that doesn't work for you, you will have 3.5 left over in case in fact they are a weak batch. This is a very potent species normally though, I would recommend 2.0

They are just dry, if they hadn't been dried they would have rotted before they got to you.

I would recommend closer to a gram and a half or less. I usually eat under a gram and am satisfied.
