First Grow Mishap

Hello, I tried searching for information about this both on here and google, but the nature of my question makes it hard to find anything about it. I had planned on making mushrooms myself for a year and I finally just finished with a pretty decent yield and no contaminations. See, I'm a bit of a health nut though and am worried about what I watered my substrate with. I was looking for something to water them with and before I bought a proper spray bottle I emptied a Multisurface Windex Disinfectant bottle, sprayed the sprayer many times through just hot water to get most of whatever was remaining out that I could, filled it with water, and watered my 5 cakes once before I could think about it twice. Realizing that there was probably trace amounts of whatever nasty chemicals could have been in there when I sprayed it, I dunked my cakes the day after for 6 hours and rolled, and sprayed from a store bought sprayer since then. My worry now is what trace amount of chemicals could have made it from that spray into my fruiting bodies that I will soon eat? This is silly, I know this, because it was probably negligible amounts of some fairly safe chemical that could have been either broken down or maybe evaporated before they made it into my fruiting bodies, but I just don't want this fucking with my head like it is for my first experience with these things. So i guess my question is, would YOU eat them considering what happened? I'm sure I'm being paranoid, but just would like some validation. Thanks.

Id definitely eat them!....Unless the mushroom body itself smelled like the chemical you are worried about then that could be bad
If they look normal and smell normal . Don't worry just eat em.

Amonia in windex, euria in horseshit, whatever.

I spawned some popcorn casings and had double-overlay cause I didn't put enough hydrogen peroxide in my automated aquarium mister. I only got one mushroom so I cut off the head part where the seeds fall from and put it in a jar of LC and sprayed it all over a tin of PF cakes I made with gravel, cardboard, and bisquick in my microwave. I think it will be good cause B+ is so potent. Triggered yet? Only a square would say "a cube is a cube."
No, this does not look right...

They certainly smell fine now, and the smell wasn't even there the next day after I put it on the un-fruited substrate. But I do have another spore syringe so I was looking to see if there was any doubt before I went through all the trouble again.
