Would fresh fruits left out at room temp overnight still be good?

Sorry for the stupid question, I have some experience but I'm far from being an expert and I know you guys have seen just about every scenario by now so I thought I'd ask your advice since I have nobody else to ask/talk to. Not to be gross but with my chronic digestive disorder I don't want to accidentally invite further digestive unrest along on my next trip if it can be avoided.
I harvested some fresh fruits yesterday morning and again last night but after adding the second batch I stupidly forgot to turn on the dehydrator (excalibur) again and I didn't notice until the following morning, around 10 hours later. I turned on the dehydrator this morning and I have a few more little ones to add later, I'm just wondering if the fruits I left out overnight while the dehydrator was off are still good or if they should be tossed. The first batch had been drying for about 12 hours and the second batch had just been harvested. They seemed fine, not mushy but obviously not dry and they didn't smell or have any noticable discoloring aside from the bluing. I feel like I'm overthinking things, I just wanted to get an opinion from someone who's done the same thing or has heard of someone who has made this mistake. Thanks everyone, and sorry again for the lame post!

Wrap them up in paper towels and set near a vent or heater. They will be fine, but if you want to make sure you can always make a tea. It’s very simple And quick.

They are still good. That's not a long time.

Thanks. I was pretty sure that they would still be good, I just wanted to get a second opinion since I'm a huge hermit and wouldn't have anyone else to ask. It's been getting colder here lately too so I'm sure that helped, I think it was like 74 degrees last night.
