Well... were I you, they would risk it, but I am not afraid of death either..
If you do not want to plqy with your life I would suggest being as safe as possible... Maybe flip a coin?
-------------------- And thus begins the reverse-fusing of our one-dimentional understanding, and adds ever-expanding perspectives, in depth and number; splitting our perception, and in so doing, seemingly irrationally, creates yet more one-ness, with all that ever was, is and will ever be, streching across the infinite, inunderstood concept of everything, percievable and not.

Hmmmm, I'm very tempted to just throw them out...I've never tripped before, and I reckon if I ate these and felt the standard nausea I'd start thinking bad thoughts about it being due to the state of my mushrooms = bad trip :P
I also read that I should've cut open the mushrooms to check their interiors looked healthy #rookiemistake.
If no one convinces me of their safety they will be tossed! Either way it was a good learning experience!

Please tell me you're kidding when you say eating these mushrooms can cause death haha!?
I'm fairly sure the worst that can happen is food poisoning. At least I'd like to think that!!!!

I may have given them too much love...still at that that stage where my mushrooms are my little babies that I need to nurture :P I was misting and fanning at 5am, 8am, 5:00pm and 10pm. How often should I must, and how many sprays each time? I guess there are lots of variables concerned and do you can't answer that! If it helps, the capacity of the FC is 18L (very small).

Ok im by no means a pro dude
I think what your doing is ok as you achieved your goal of producing some shroomys
As for the slimy cap I reckon its something to do with the misting and not a problem
when misting from the knowledge of reading a bit I gathered its best not to spray directly on the little mushies

Sliminess can be a sign of bacteria. If they smelled normal they were probably fine, since bacteria doesn't necessarily mean they're rotten, which is when they're full waste products from the bacteria and usually smelly as hell. The bacteria you'd normally find on mushrooms isn't in itself harmful to people and it would have all died off when you dried them.

Thank you everyone who has replied with their advice!!! I've decided to still toss all them out! Even if they are ok, I can see myself freaking out over them and having a bad trip :P I've learned the finer details of FAE from this situation, so it hadn't been in vane 
Your help has been very much appreciated!!!

In case any others are worried, I regret throwing mine out... Here's RR's 2 cents :P
In all my years of growing, I've never seen a single case of penicillium mold on a mushroom. That one is a contaminant of agar, and sometimes grain, but not other fungi such as mushrooms.
The stories of people dying are bullshit. Actually, the only stories of people dying from mushrooms are people who ate toxic ones such as death caps thinking they were edibles. What is toxic is inhaling the spores from certain molds, especially brown ones. The moral is, don't open a contaminated jar and snort the spores that come out.
As for the so-called 'green molds' common to mushroom culture, none are toxic to healthy humans. People with AIDS have been known to grow trichoderma and mucor in their lungs, but it came from living in moldy buildings, not mushroom growing.
If you overwater and have a soggy, wet mushroom or put fresh ones in plastic bags until they rot, bacteria might be rampant in the fruit, so you'd get a nasty case of food poisoning. Only eat fresh mushrooms, and toss out any substrate with green or any other color molds. Never open moldy jars before you drop them into boiling water for an hour or two first. If you do that, you'll be fine. There's no invisible killers that are lurking around to nuke you.
We throw out contaminated mushroom substrate to protect out grow area and future crops, not ourselves. -------------------
Correct. No danger at all. All wild mushrooms grow in conjunction with molds and bacteria. We toss out contaminated substrates to save our sterile work areas, not to protect our own health. There's just so much misunderstanding and disinformation floating around about this.
It pisses me off to no end people who talk out their butt without having a clue. If anyone says eating a mushroom from a substrate that has a touch of green on it will make you sick, then simply disregard whatever that person says. They'll talk that shit today, then dump blue cheese dressing on their salad and munch it down. Go figure. RR
