Contamination of a growing box - Is it still solvable?

Hi folks,
my growing box got contamination as you can see in the pictures. No weird or different smell so far.
It's still the first flush. I have never sneezed inside, uses gloves or desinfected my hands before touching the box.
The only reason I can see is the water I was using for misting. Tap water, cleaned via a Brita water filter can. The water obviously was able to touch the mushroom caps while they were growing.
1. Is it still sovable somehow? 2. Can I at least the few muhrooms which are left?
Thanks guys =(

There's no contaminations. It's spores. It's fine. You could probably go for another flush and they're all edible.
I just made a thread about this lol: http://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/21748290

I have seen your post before, but what about those greenish stains on some of the caps?
And you say when caps are torn at the edges, that's normal? Those mushrooms are B+ and none of the others were torn.

Lol just bruised. Probably from getting hit with mist water/cracking.
Sometimes caps crack, either from a low rh or just genetics. In my opinion yours look genetic.

hmm, okay. that's a relieve to hear. but since it's greenish, i'm still a little afraid 
what kind of things would happen next, if this is contamination, so I could act early?
And would there be a solution for that, like eco petizide for example?

It's not. It's bruising. On a side note, if it were a green contamination like trich (major decomposer, lives very harmoniously with plants) or penicillium (used to make penicillin or cheese) they're both very edible. We don't see any other green molds normally. I haven't ever seen any other green mold, even in the wild. When you pick those they'll get stained with blue/green too because they'll bruise where you picked or handled them.
