My Shrooms Have Mold??Please Help

I put my shrooms away for a while (maybe a month or two) and it looks almost like they have gotten little mold spots but I can't even be sure. Almost looks like a blue-ish color on some parts of a couple of the stems.. but my question is if those spots are indeed mold spots then is the whole batch of them bad? I mean could I pull out the bad stems and keep whats good? Help would be very much appreciated

I would just throw them away. Sounds brutal but its better then death.
yea I was hoping that wouldn't be the case... I really can't tell what exactly it is though, it looks like bluish colored and it isn't a whole lot. It's just that they're hard to find and I was lucky to get my hands on these :cry:

i know that mushrooms can turn a bluish color if they bruise from bending or something but if its like a growth then i dont know.

wipe it if something comes off its mold... noting comes off it just bruising... for future ref the best way to store em is in a paper bag in the fridge... but holding on to em for almost 2 months is a long time try to get rid of em in the first month or so to be safe and have the most potency

the bluish color is the psilocybin in the mushroom. if the mushrooms were dried, and kept in a dark, cool, dry place, then you shouldn't have any problems with molding. and as far as keeping them for extended periods of time, as long as they are properly kept, they should be fine. maybe a little less potent, but definitely don't throw them away.

most the shrooms i've ever had either had blue or greenish spots in them. i always trip if they are good shrooms spots or not.

you should just throw those out and grow your own.

edit:
they are prolly fine... there are few and rare blue molds that would get on a dried mushroom... but if it is a growth that you can clean off then for sure throw it out

Some one aldery said it, but if it is a mold it will wipe off, just like bread. If it is a blue color within the mushroom itself, like a part of the moushroom, then it is just brusing or maybe just places in the mushroom that were not damaged if heat was used to dry the moushroom, or it could even be a trate of the strain you have. It is hard to tell without having the mushroom in my hands, but I would NOT throw them away.

All I read was there where mold spots so figured like i always would play it safe and throw them out on second look at the post blueing on the stem is just brusing maybe post a pic of them. I dont play around with mold on shrooms.

Mold wouldn't be that bad of a problem unless they are in their fruiting stage of growth, or if the substrate was molding. Dried mushrooms shouldn't even be effected by mold, unless they were wet or in a very very humid environment.
