I wouldn't risk it. This webpage https://www.beefresearch.ca/topics/mycotoxins/ is aimed at cattle farmers, but will give you an idea of what may be growing on those grains.
Have you contacted the seller about it?

Thank you for your reply! I have contacted the seller and they said it's just different colors...Do you think I should contact the producer?

that's nonsense - the blackness is spreading from one end of the grain. They should provide a refund or replacement as the feed is not fit for purpose.

I agree. I doubt it because I've seen wheat in another shop they don't have any black ones. I'll contact the producer tmrw see how they say. Anyways thank you so much!

I definitely wouldn't risk it. Better to be cautious when it comes to something like this. I'm sorry that the seller is refusing to hear it.
