 The first three pictures with the dark parts on the top of the stem is the main thing i'm concerned about,i dont know if it's mold, old, or the color it's supposed to be. When I get good lighting on it (the bigger piece) , it looks dark gray/black and I could be wrong but maybe a small hint of dark blue. Same for the smaller piece as well. What can I do to know if this is mold? I've never taken shrooms before and I just purchased these and I could be wrong but they dont look right. Thanks for any help

So do you think it looks ok enough to consume? I have zero experience so I just want to be sure. Thank you for the quick identification, though.

It's perfectly normal, the blue is caused by psilocin oxidation.

Thanks guys, I barely signed up 10 minutes ago and this website has proven to be very helpful just minutes after a post. Another thing, the guy I bought it from suggested that I just chew and chew and chew on them my first time and not try to put them in a peanut butter sandwich or do anything to "make it easier" as he said, is there a reason for this or can I just do it anyways... This one stem is pretty thick and I think I may need a little help getting it down, haha.

You can do whatever you like. But it's probably best if you don't eat or drink anything fatty with them, it slows or prevents absorption. The best thing to do is grind them in a coffee grinder, then just wash down with juice.

Hmmm.. what do you mean put it in a coffee grinder? As in chop it up and drink it? I've heard of making tea with it also. I have OJ, no coffee grinder buuuut I have a bud grinder.

Bud grinder probably isn't enough, the chunks may be difficult to swallow. Coffee grinder grinds them in a fine powder which is very easy to both swallow and digest. Tea is also good, makes them hit harder and faster, but last shorter. You don't seem to have a lot, that might be the best method.

I didn't include the entire bag in the photo but I have a little over 2 grams. I didnt want more than enough for more than one trip because I don't know the quality of these. I'm going to take 1.3 or so for my first time and will increas it after about 90 minutes if I feel I can handle more. I have a "ninja" and a "magic bullet" which I believe can possible cut it as fine as I think you are describing. How would I do it for a tea? Just cut the mushrooms up, put it into the tea water and add in a tea bag that I have or something? Sorry for all the questions... the dealer really wasn't wanting to tell me much since i bought such a small amount.

You're overthinking this. If you don't have a coffee grinder and want them powdered put them in a strong ziploc bag and hit it with the heel of a shoe until powdered. Then simmer for 20 minutes to an hour, strain and enjoy.
...or just eat them. They don't taste that bad and it only takes a few seconds to ingest them.

That magic bullet will be perfect! Just chunck up the mushrooms and throw em in the bullet. Try to get them down to a fine powder...or as close as possible. Remember, the finer the powder, the easier the consumption. Then make the tea first and then stir in the powder after the tea is done and enjoy just remember to weigh out what you want before you grind it up and don't cook the mushroom powder with the tea and you're good! Have fun!
