Hi guys,

First time grower here, I mistakenly left the lid on my kit while in the bag ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ, the shrooms still grew and popped the lid off, but there was some green mold present and 1 huge shroom.

I harvested them just after taking the picture I've attached, and I dried them in a dehydrator, you can see the second image.

Questions I hope you can help with:

Is the green mold going to affect the shrooms?

There's some mold on the cake, I'm attempting a second harvest, but suspect probably a bad idea due to the mold?

The dried shrooms have a blueish tint, I've read this is normal, called bruising, just double checking it's not related to the mold.

The size of the large mushroom, will this be less potent per gram, and impact my dosing?

Any guidance would be appreciated, trying not to use reddit for this ๐Ÿ˜…

Thanks for the advice, It's not clear in the image, but there was some mold on the bottom of the large shroom, if you look closely at it in the bottom left you can see what looks like holes, it was slightly green there.

I've thrown the cake, and I've ordered another kit, it will be another few weeks before I'm ready to harvest again though what's the risk with the mold on the shroom?

The weight of the big shrooms dried is about 6g, it was sliced and I've broken it testing it's dryness, so not sure exactly which bits are the big one anymore.

is it green or blue? bruising in shrooms oxidizes to blue-ish.
