Am I F*cked?

Very new grower, bought a Canadian kit, please tell me its not hopeless. Can it be removed? Have I waited too long? I took a picture of the green stuff that kind of looks like lychen to me and some white that im pretty sure is mycelium but a second opinion would be nice. The mushrooms in the first picture also look like they have a bit of green on them. Thanks for the help.

this is why we don't buy kits.
All bullshit aside, if that's trich and it's green it's already dispersing spores. I would try to get a flush from it still but don't expect a lot.
Doesn't really look like trich imo but it's still not good.

Yeah it doesn't look like trich to me either, do you think its possible its some sort of lichen from the casing? It appeared on top before the mushroom mycelium did but I didnt do anything about it because im a dumnoob.
How do I go about removing it?
Also, I know most people on this forum aren't down with grow kits but im not sure why. If my batch gets contaminated, then isn't that my fault for not sterilizing properly (even though I thought I did a pretty good job)?
Thanks for your help and sorry for all the questions

did you inject it with a spore syringe? if so, that's most likely why...
I'm not very experienced dealing with contaminants, I always inoculate agar, clean up the contaminants and then inoculate my jars with that.
Also, some grow kit vendors don't properly autoclave/Pressure cook their equiptment

It's some sort of Aspergillus mold, definitely not trich. Still fucked either way though lol

Can I still harvest the mushrooms that are growing? They seem to be doing pretty well.

Cool, I was supposed to get a few flushes out of the kit but I guess not. Is there any point in trying to remove the mold? Part of me wants to remove the casing all together and fruit right off the mycelium underneath.

Thats not good, is it. Looks like two types of mold on these mush unless its mycelium and bruising? I hear you can wash some molds off of fresh shrooms before drying them?
