Yes, it appears there is mold growing on those. You can see it standing out on the gold cap near the top right. How did you dry and store them? something just looks wrong.
I wouldn't eat them, but I have a surplus at present. You are going to have to decide for yourself whether you are willing to potentially get food poisoning for a trip. What I see there certainly won't kill you.

Yeah man don't eat that shit, just toss those. Buy a cheap food dehydrator from WalMart and dry and store them properly next time.

Get a dehydrator and don't worry about this problem again. or Put them on in between screens on a box fan or right in front of it. After they are as dry as possible (may take over 36 hours) finish drying them with a desiccant. Sunlight on them while wet can on accelerate degradation.

Sunlight or any light will reduce potency. Air dry first until you can't feel moisture content, then dry in a sterilite box with damp rid. Put on aluminum foil and don't let the shrooms come into contact with it.
Moldy shrooms are useless and you risk wasting your resources with contams. Toss them.

The sterility of the box is not important. Don't use tinfoil, use something porous like cheese cloth or even a paper towel. Don't air dry, fan dry if that is the only option.
Better yet, buy a dehydrator.

I said nothing of sterility. Autocorrect fixed sterilite. 
You can air dry shrooms. That is an option. Alu foil works great with desiccant chamber. I have 100% success rate.

Foil does not allow gases or moisture to exchange. There are better options. That is fine if it is working for you. I am just advising him how to dry as fast as possible to retain potency. Air drying in some environments would end disastrously.
Fresh> Dehydrator > fan drying/desiccant > air drying with desiccant.
Regardless, his mushrooms have molded and he probably should not consume them

You can place them on anything in the desiccant chamber as long as they don't come into direct contact with it. Most people have foil in the home already. 
That's awesome you think that is best. My idea is still a valid idea.

It is not my opinion, it is a fact. Fan drying is better than air drying. Period. A dehydrator is better than either. Do some research. His mushrooms should not be consumed and have molded. Lets not beat a dead horse any more.

A fan is not necessary and neither is a dehydrator. You can fucking air dry shrooms if you want, who cares what is "better". Both work, if you want to use a fan, go right ahead. There are many ways to skin a cat.

OP can worry about potency when he can dry the shrooms without getting moldy. Drying shrooms is going to reduce potency anyway, to which degree is may be negligible to a noob grower.

Any food dehydrator will work. I would try to find one with a thermostats but it's not necessary.
