Not cracker dry, but not mush - ok to consume?

Question ❔

Another noob question.

Last week I harvested my first flush. I had them in a food dehydrator at 50degrees C for about 6 hours. They felt ‘dry’ when I took them out.

I stored them in a jar inside a plastic zip lock bag with a couple of desiccant packets.

When I came to check on them a week later I noticed they were actually a bit soggy, very black and squishy - nothing like how they felt dry initially.

Obviously I hadn’t dried them enough and they weren’t as cracker dry as I thought they were.

They still smell mushroomy and other than being smaller and a little squishy, they have bruised a ton.

If I pop them back in the dehydrator - are they going to be safe to consume (guessing less potent), or are they no good any longer in this semi decomposed state?

Pictures from harvest first and then now back in the dehydrator hoping to dry them out a bit more and salvage them: https://imgur.com/a/vxY17jK
