1 Day late - black caps / hats

Hello guys,
I have the following situation: - I was late 1 day to pick them up and some of them spread the spores heavily. Today I picked them up.
They still smell fresh.
So, not I am wondering, can I wash and eat them ?
Should I dry them ? Cleaned or let them with spores ?
Thanks in advance.

nice! just dry them, I know some people wash their mushrooms with water but you gotta dry them real fast after that.
hope you got a dehydrator or at least a screen, fan and oven. that card board box isnt gonna do the trick.

I have a laptop cooling pad. I cover with a net and on the net I place paper-towels . This way they will dry uniformly.
So do I have to wash them before drying or after ?  Can't I just cut the hats and consume the bodies ?
Thanks for fast reply.

the spores wont hurt you, I wouldn't get them wet if I were you
Ive been in your same situation (I think almost everybody here has) and they come out just fine when dry

I wouldn't wash mushrooms under water. definitely not when you have a ghetto rigged drier setup!
You really should look into drying them with heat somehow, fan dry them some first and then stick them in the oven, door cracked open @ 200F or so.
If you wanna grow more just buy a 30$ dehydrator, the quicker you get them cracker dry the less magic they'll lose in the process.

I understand. I will not wash them if they smell fresh.
I will dry them quickly and I'll be back with results in few days 
Thank you very much,

One quick post.
Is ok for them to turn green after I cut their roots ?

I found an oven with up/down heater and ventilation @ 65 Celsius 
Thanks

The oven has a fan incorporated and it dries them before heating to 65 degrees.
Thanks for tips.
