My mushrooms are turning black

Hello im new to posting to the shroomery but i have been here for several months just browsing.
I had purchased 5 grams of shrooms dried about 3 days ago. Its kinda hot here (85 degree weather) and today i had noticed the small caps in the bag had turned black. This frightens me because they used to be gold or yellow. I had them in a baggy in my rooms (no ac) so i figured that the heat had got to them. So i moved them to the basement where its cool and dark.
But now im scared to eat the black ones and im afraid the others will get bad. I do not wish to trip now...i was going to wait until next week.
I do not want my 5 grams to go bad. Please help me.

Im not sure about eating them, but i think its best you store them in the fridge for now before the rest go bad too..

Thanks for replying, but i cant store it in the fridge. Should i remove all the bad shrooms out so they dont infect the rest?

damnit... i guess im shit out of luck. I still live with my parents and i cant dry them out without them knowing. But i decided that im going to eat 2 grams tonight..of the shrooms that arent black. no they are not cracker dry. they bend. Do you think the other 3 grams will not mold as fast if they are in a cool dark place..if so then im eating those this tuesday.
It doesnt seem to be like a mold growing off of it...more like its dieing. i wish i could still eat them.

if they werent properly dried then 2 grams wont be much at all. can you put them in the fridge or anything? if they have gone black, that means they rot. shrooms sure seem to rot slowly. maybe the chemicals resist bacteria?

Shit, I have 3.5 gs of dark shrooms and they have some black on them. I was wondering if this was safe...they looked good considering they have some blue and purple in them but are you guys saying they might not be potent (or even safe to eat?). I ate .5 of them yesterday and actually got mild effects, pupil dilation, sweating and a couple mild OEV that lasted for like 5 min.
p.s. i broke a 2.1g stem open and it's full of white powder that is sort of hardened at this point...safe to eat?

I think my shrooms will be okay..i ate 2g last night of the ones that werent black..i tripped hard. Then my brother ate the gram that was black and he said he didnt get sick or anything..he said he felt a little funny(funny as in he was feeling the trip) when he was listening to tool.
i checked my other 3g today and none of them have gone black since being in a cool dark place. So i think it will be okay. But thanks for all of your help.

I ate a whole bag of black shrooms once (i'm not sure on that weight, they were picked wild and not weighed) and it was the strongest (i fried my balls off) I've ever tripped, and i didn't get sick or anything. They probably weren't completely dry when you got them, mine weren't, and i'm not sure what it meens when they turn black, but since your brother ate them, and so did i, i'm guessing black isn't a really bad thing. I've seen pics of shrooms dried in the sun compared to those dried in the dark before and the ones dried in the sun turned black, but I kept mine in the dark mostly and they turned black to so who knows.
