Green on Caps -- ok?

On a few of the older caps that I'm harvesting (maybe one day past "prime"), I'm seeing a green coloring. I'm just wondering if it's ok to keep these in my traveling case or should I discard them?
Here's a pic. I've increased the brightness and contrast of the original image to show off the green color a bit:

Thanks and Peace

Traveling case? Like taking them home in a paper bag?

Sorry for the terrible metaphor. When one "travels", one oftentimes carries a traveling case. So, what I mean is should I discard these few that display this green color on the cap, or is it ok?

Fucking metaphors!  Are you asking if you can dry those and eat them? That's up to you man, they still have magic in them.

Here's an update (see pic below) after the same has been drying for a while. It's really hard to tell from the pic that the green is still there, but it's much dimished.
I'm inclined to not include this in my collection.

I would defenitely toss it. It may be ok but I wouldn't risk the projectile puking.

They look like they were infeted with bacteria or some kind of mold. I am no expert but I dont think eating them is worth the risk.

I've only seen this on TWO of the dozens of caps I've been harvesting. Is there any explanation for this?

It can be caused by bruising, or because the fruits are old and damaged, thus have started to rot. The first is harmless, the latter will make you sick with food poisoning. If it's only two of the fruits, it would be best to get rid of them. Tripping and puking is no fun. RR

Thanks -- I'll take everyone's advice and toss these couple that look like this coming out of the FC.

Looks similar to this to me:

Quote:
Bacterial Blotch – Pseudomonas tolaasii (P. fluorescens)
Yellow to brown lesions form on mushrooms. Typically, spotting occurs at or near the edge of mushroom caps. Blotch occurs when mushrooms remain wet for a period of 4 to 6 hours or longer after water has been applied. The bacterium is spread in air-borne soil particles. Controls include lowering humidity and watering with a 150 ppm chlorine solution (calcium hypochlorite products are used since sodium hypochlorite products may burn caps). If the mushroom stays wet, however, chlorine has little effect since the bacterial population reproduces at a rate that neutralizes the effect of the oxidizing agent. Shiitake caps are affected by a bacterial disease caused by Pseudomonas gladioli (Burkholderia gladioli). Sanitation is a critical component of control measures.
This quote sounds like it was taken from a text that may have been referring to non-active fruits, like agaricus bisporus. I would venture to guess that the breakdown of the actives can cause greenish/blue bruising on cubensis.
Quote:
Tolaasin is a toxin produced by the soil bacteria Pseudomonas tolaasii. It has been shown to have hemolytic properties.
I wouldn't want to mess with that.
