pick that big one, leave the rest. It will start to spore everywhere and potency will be down.
The rest look good to sit for a few more days.

Both of those ideas are going to leave you with nasty shrooms. use an electric fan dry them on a screen of some sorts or get a food dehydrator.

Open air, never put a wet mushroom in a jar or bag

I've left mushrooms out in open air. They get nasty after a few days. They need a fan or a dehydrator. You want them to dry as quickly as possible

Sure if you want to make a contaminated spore print. If you want to print the cap cut it as close to the gills as possible put it on a piece of fresh tin foil using a pin or needle in the cap. Cover it with tyvek in a glove box/SAB or do this inside of a sterilized cup/jar.
