How to tell when Shrooms go bad?

So I recently started my overture into the shroom world and scored a rather large bag of the stuff. I've tripped multiple times, with varying results (from amazing trips to not being able to trip at all due to tolerance) Lately, my last trip I seemed to get symptoms of food poisoning. The shrooms I have are P. Cubensis, dried, and I've only had them for like a month or two at the most.
After searching through the entire bag, I was unable to conclusively identify any mold. The only thing I've noticed was the white fuzz on some of the stems, a few black caps (overly dried, right?) that were really really small.

If they were properly dried they should last for a while but if they smell bad, have any sort of mold growing on them, or have turned a dark color then they are not worth consuming for the sake of your health. you may want to throw them in a box with a desiccant.

that white fuzz you mentioned is likely to be mycelium, but you should make sure of what it is before you consume them. as for the black caps, you should be able to tell if they are rotting by examining them

Well, they always smell repulsive to me. The bag is overly strong when I open it and smell, but nothing that is sending off bells. None of them appear to be rotting, the little black bits are just extremely dry and brittle it seems.
What does the mold look like? Is there a way to confirm the presence of mold?
