bad shrooms?

My friend from S. America just harvested some eqs a week ago and dryed them, but he didn't dry them completly it seems because he looked at them today, a week later, and they were wet and had green mold growing on them. They smelled pretty bad he says. He put them back in the dehydrator asap. This is a picture of what they look like:
So, should he just throw them out, or cut off the green parts, or just dry them cracker dry? Will they still be okay?

No comment on if they are safe or not. Next time dry them cracker dry in the first place?

Just what I was gonna say. What did they smell like?
If the shroom had mold on it, and you were positive it was mold, it is better not to chance it...

wouldnt just cutting off the moldy parts and cracker-drying the rest be okay? And yes, he knows he should have cracker dryed them beforehand he just got mixed up with the drying times, they seemed perfectly dry originally and passed over the bend/crack test. Still, he wants to know if at least part of them can be salvaged

It may be bruising, which I believe it is. Mold is far more hideous than that. I'd eat them, unless you are positive it is mold. It really isn't safe to salvage contaminated specimens, since the mold can be in more places than where you see it.

honestly that looks pretty good.. rotting mushrooms smell sickly sweet and are more dark brown to black. what you have in that picture looks more like bruising.

I'd eat them. Definately doesn't look like mold; the smallest of the big three has that dark spot in the middle and that's the only single *possible* decay that I can spot. Maybe cut out that 2cm area. When in doubt, feed them to your friends!

ok doubledutch, lets hand out information that could possibly lead someone to harm, thats really smart! /bitter sarcasm.
Listen guys, ITS JUST A FUCKING MUSHROOM. If it smells bad, looks bad, has funky shit growing on it, TOSS IT THE FUCK OUT. Is a trip really worth risking your life/health? If you had a 50/50 shot on living or dying if you ate that mushroom would you still eat it?
