The black spots are most likely spores from the mushroom. If not, then I would be worried and probably toss it. Did you dry that mushroom properly, looks like it could use a few more hours in the dehydrator until cracker dry. You want the stem to snap like a twig with little resistance.

So it's two days old, where have you been storing it?
If you leave it out in the open, it could be losing a bit of potency by now, oxygen degrades actives in the mushroom. Keep it in the fridge, wrapped in a paper bag until ready to consume. Have fun!

You should dry it ASAP in a dehydrator (optimal) or in front of a fan, if that's what you have available. If you have any silica gels laying around, then store the semi-dried mushroom in a plastic bag with the gel. This should dry it till it's cracker dry.

Take em out of the plastic if its still wet, fan dry in a dark room for 24-48 hours then invest in some calcium chloride {Damp Rid} to them cracker dry. If done properly you shouldn't lose much potency.
