Recently i purchased my first batch of shrooms. Everything looked all good, they seemed a little moist though. I put them in a jar throughout the day, then at night i checked them and the stems were starting to turn blue a little, so i hit my boy up and asked him whats up with it and he said its just the chemicals in them thats making it turn blue.. I need help does anyone know whats happening or what i should do

Try googling bluing in mushrooms. Also this site may have some answers. To start you off, it is a characteristic of "psychedelic" mushrooms to blue… or more appropriately bruise.

I'd recommend posting in the proper forum. This isn't it.
-------------------- You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity. What one person receives without working for another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for that my dear friend is the beginning of the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it. ~ Adrian Rogers

They still have some moisture in them, mushrooms are 90% water, they have to be completely cracker dry before storing them, otherwise the active chemicals in them degrade pretty quickly, and if they're left with moisture in them long enough they will start to rot.
Since mushrooms are mostly water they are way lighter when they are dried, so if you bought mushrooms that were still a little wet you actually probably got significantly less than you should've.
They're still fine to eat when they turn blue, but not if they have green mold and stuff on them or if they smell really bad.
Put them in a dehydrator if you have one, if not put them in front of a fan or something, they're dry when the stems don't bend, they snap instead, they'll appear to be very dry and will turn to almost dust when crushed.
Once they are completely dry put them in an airtight container, if you're storing them for more than a few days put a small amount of desiccant in with them in a teabag or something, make sure the desiccant is not touching the fruits.
Also, this is the wrong forum for questions like this, next time try Mushroom Cultivation or possibly even The Psychedelic Experience.
