need some advice

Hi, I'm new on the forum so... hi everyone 
It's my first time growing shrooms using an electronic propagator and I'm not too sure about what happened here. first I want to share yesterdays picture where everything seemed fine:

and this is today after harvesting:

Is that green part on the bottom of the mushrooms related with my babies opening their hats and dropping the spores? I wanted to collect them in the morning but in the end it was a busy day so I had to wait till now . have I messed up everything? what should I do?
thank you very much for your help, really appreciate it.

Dehydrator is best and really the only way ppl should be drying them, but if you don't have one then fan drying for a day or 2 then desiccant chamber will have to work. The quicker you get them dry the better. Ppl dry them in ovens with the door cracked open also.

having them in open normal air will effect potency. the longer they 'just sit' the worse. also they can rot. dry them hot n fast. like a freckin dehydrator. you can use a oven.
ps. people here hate kits because you do not learn much. like 'whats bruising on a active mushroom?'
step up and do pf tek.(or grains) you can do it!

Nice grow they look great I too was confused when I first had shrooms and saw them green. Those parts will be strong.

Nope, bruising has nothing to do with potency

defo I'm not using a kit anymore, I'm not completely happy about it. I'm doing it because I want to learn and as you said with a kit I'm not going to get fully there, thanks for the recommendation, I'll listen to you in the future.
I'm drying them with a heating fan at half a meter away from the box, I added a bag of silica as well. if I see that they are not drying I'll put them in the oven.
thank you guys for your help

if you do oven.. nice n low. like the lowest it will go and use a tinfoil snake to prop open oven to keep the heat/airflow moving.

a electric oven would work better then gas.
