caps are too wet, not letting them dry enough before the next misting and also probably misting too much volume each time you mist. bacterial blotch. safe to eat if your dry them correctly, as in a food dehydrator

NOTED. like i said this is my first time so good to know the signs of over misting now. i thought that wetness was normal but ill be sure to try to get the FC to evaporate water before i mist it again. Some how long do you think its safe to stay in there without it affecting the rest of my flush. i think i was planning to harvest tomorrow. do you recommend i pick it out now?

Looks to me more like spores from that big guy.  All of them are ready to harvest, but like bodhi said, those fruits are too wet.

No, you don't.  Do you have a fan?

I see the spores bit the big guy itself has a hole in the middle of the cap. that big one should have been harvested yesterday

desiccant doesn't dry shrooms it keeps dry things dry, or if a shroom is very very close to being cracker dry it might get it there. you need to thoroughly dry them before putting them with desiccant, then again I never use desiccant because a food dehydrator is how you dry mushrooms. if you get them cracker dry and store them in an air tight jar they stay good for more than a half a year easily.

go to target or walmart or wherever and buy a food dehydrator for 20-40$ set it to 160-170F and put them in there 12 hours or so
