My finding Nemo bin - newbie seeking wisdom

I have unexpectedly found myself trying my hand at cultivation. The first bin that was given to me had gone through incubation, and had been tossed around before it landed here. I found out later, the medium wasn't sterilized either.
Long story short, as the first pins appeared so did the ugly green mold. I went to the community for help and most say to trash the bin but since this was my first, I wanted to experiment with it even if they wouldn't be edible in the end.
I took the bin apart, baptizing each piece in water with a small amount of beach and allowed the bin extra air flow. The fruit looks fine with no more sign of the green mold.
The question I have is; Do you think the mushrooms are fine to eat or should I only admire them for their beauty? I'm not sure how the bleach and mold may have affected them. I have attached a pic of a couple in the bin.

What was the actual ratio of bleach / water?
If it was close to the directions on the bleach bottle (usually something like 2 tablespoons per gallon) then I would expect if you harvested soon and let them dry well that most of the remainder of the bleach would evaporate away with the water as they dry.

The bleach ratio was about twice that (2 tbls bleach/ 1/2 gallon water). It has been 4 days since they were baptized and the bleach smell is completely gone. To me, the mushrooms appear healthy and without knowing all I do about this bin, I wouldn't question them.
