Mushrooms smell off and a bit darker than others

Hey guys, one of my mates went picking a couple months ago. After drying a bunch (psilocybe subaeruginosa) didn't put them in an airtight container. When he went to get them they were a bit soft again and a bit darker too. They also have a pretty bad smell similar to old sweaty socks quite unlike the others. After noticing this they were re-dried and transferred to an airtight mason jar but the smell still lingers.
Just wondering if they're fucked or not? Some look just like properly preserved ones but others just look and smell not so good.
Cheers legends xx

Dried mushrooms always smell gross to me. If there is no visible mold on them I'd say they're fine but make tea with them just in case. The heat of boiling will kill most pathogens and it won't degrade the actives.

When in doubt toss them out! Plus, you will have so crazy anxiety after eating them thinking they are bad. At least I have before. Not worth it in my experience. There is always another day! Welcome to the Shroomery!

True, true Mental. It all depends how much you need them I guess. If I had them rn I would suck it up! Haha.

haha yeah I have had a similar batch of them before. they tasted like socks but did the trick haha
with that batch they half-dried them and they must have soaked up more moisture, bruising them even more. I think that's why they turned darker in colour? (what I've read online that can happen anyway) No visible mould from what I can see, but what colour would the mold be if there was though? Also if I were to re-dehydrate on 70degrees (his dehydrator's highest setting), would that be enough heat to kill any/all possible bits of bad shit?
thanks guys x

Like Mental said, tea would prob. Be your best bet to consume. As to the mold, I think it would be either white, black, or a greenish tint, but just look up moldy shrooms. If you can post some pics that would be best.
