Its bacterial rot on the caps. It shouldnt be a problem once they are completely dried.
You'll get used to seeing the black spots. Most cyans have them by full maturity.

Since moving here to WA i have talked to many so called "Shroom Hunters" and they have all said to ALWAYS boil them..
And RR said to so.. He knows.
I won't take a chance with heart worms or bacterial rot.. I mean think of food poisoning times 100!! Yuck.
