Can anyone confirm if these are contaminated

This is my first time growing and I have already harvested and dried my first flush from the spores I purchased online using a Pk method. I went out of town for a day and kept a light cycle on and came home to find white fluffiness on the top near the mushrooms. I then unwrapped the jars and found this yellowish color you can see in the picture. The first flush was perfect normal and seemed fine but I was going to see if anyone could confirm if these are ok to still dry and Ingest or if I should just toss these and start over. http://

I think they're probably fine and would eat them. Contams rarely end up on the mushrooms, and the white fluff ontop is mushroom mycellium. Not sure what the rosey colour in the third pic is? Are they a redspore variety?
Definitely some contamination in the substrate. Looks like a bit of bacteria and maybe a bit of mold as well. Take what you can from them, no need to panic. I've gotten some suprisingly decent yields out of bacterial cakes.
I think the FAE in your fruiting chamber may be lacking by the way those stems have fuzzed up.

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...

Might not even be contamed but you'll find out soon. The shrooms are fine to eat in my experience. Just keep doing what your doing until it looks and smells bad\isn't making any more mushrooms. Edit:just read your description better that's not even contaminated IMO
