Grow Kit Trouble 1

Yes yes, I know, I read enough posts to know how most of people here feel about grow kits.
And yet, I spent the money, I have one, I'm having trouble. And the distinct wish to save a little bit of it.
I got the kit about 3 weeks ago, it was ready-to-go with white mycelium across the whole thing, and supposedly ready without the need for watering. I waited for about a week and voilà, the first pins appeared. So, according to the very limited instructions I got, I opened up the perforated plastic bag. It might have gotten a touch dry after a few days, so I added a bit of water to the cake and started spraying the inside of the bag every morning.
Some mushrooms grew, but mostly to the side. And now, for the last week nothing has really happened except for a some green discoloration. So this whole thing might be contaminated.
The question I have now is what to do. 1) Are these mushrooms still edible? 2) Is this thing salvageable - can I just harvest, cut away at the green stuff and leave it going? 3) Is there any way to get spores off of these, so I can start over with my own mix?
I'd appreciate any help. Next time I'll definitely go the proper way and use the methods from this site.

The green is trich get that out of your house before it launches spores all over your house and ruins your future grows! As for the mushys if they weren’t in close proximity to the trich I’d say dry em out, but they look weird to me so I’d wait for another opinion. Next time either do PF tek or learn to do grains both will save you time and money in the long run and you’ll always know that you have sterile grains/jars.

that my friend is usually what happens with kits. just toss it asap and chalk it up as a lesson learned. study some teks on here and do it yourself that way you know it was done correct and by someone who cares. as far as the fruits go if dehydrated properly n made into a tea they wouldnt kill you lol but me personally i wouldnt want to eat them at all. as stated id just carefully remove and toss that whole thing before you spread them spores all over your house and never can grow shit without it showin up.
also id make sure you clean the fuck out of the tote with a good bleach solution. but anymore im to the point where if a atomic trich bomb goes off i just toss the whole thing tote and all.that way shits not spread everywhere. i dont care about 10$ and that shit can be a nightmare to get rid of when its really bad. it will find its way into any cracks grooves or non smooth surfaces. i just sleep easier knowing i didnt just spawn to a trich ridden tote. some ppl will argue with me but i dont care 10$ aint shit compared to knowing i started out by cleaning a brand new tote to begin with.

hmm damn I was afraid of that. I just went outside, picked what was possible to pick and got rid of the rest.
When I think about it: we do have a bit of a problem with mould in our apartment - some in the bathroom and some long the windows. I tried to get rid of it with bleach which helped, but it's not gone. This probably isn't good if I want to get into cultivating, I guess :/
Now the million dollar question: are these things safe to eat? Also, I don't have any equipment for drying, can I just put it into the oven at 50deg over night or something like that?


Edit: could have used the search function for that one. RoberRabbit seems to be very convinced it's safe to eat green mouldy bits: https://www.shroomery.org/forums/showflat.php/Number/4247045

looked like bruising to me. Could indicate you watered too much and bruised it.

Also, even if its not just bruising, and some of the off color parts are mold, wouldn't sticking them in a dehydrator for 24 hours kill the mold so he wouldn't get sick from eating it?

I doubt it, not worth the risk. Maybe its just the way I see the pics, but it just appeared to be bruising not mold. But I wear glasses sooo....hahahhaha

A dehydrator is going to spread them quite effectively throughout the house.

Well there's that. 
I have them on the window sill on some kitchen roll at the moment, for drying. I'll leave them there for a few days and post a pic then. No more mould visible at the moment, only their rather pathetic size.
It's gonna be my first time trying shroomies - I measured the wet-mass at 12g, which I guess is a decent salvage for this disaster. I'm really not too picky when it comes to things like that, as long as it's not dangerous I don't really care - and from what I read on the other thread I linked it doesn't seem to be.
Not sure about going with my own Tek build. Girlfriend became buckets of paranoid when I told her about the spores.
Thank you for all the answers!

I'm not sure how to convince your gf, but no one will get after you for some spores.

man thats only gnna b like 1 gram dry that aint enough to get a goldfish tripping. i wouldnt even be desperate enough to eat that crap.with cubes you shouldnt even be eating anything less than 3.5 dried grams. just start over and get yourself some mold free mushies. since there aint enuff to get off on anyway nothing is lost. do us all and yourself a favor and toss em. once you do this rite you will thank yourself in the long run.

lol dont listen to me??? judging by your ratings and your gallery i dont think anyone should be listening to you. look all i was saying is really anything under 3.5 grams of normal cubes that being non penis envy is pretty much considered a light-med level experience. so really it is a fact and anyone will tell you 1 gram of normal cubes is barely a threshold dose. but 1 gram of moldy sub standard cubes that looked the way those did i would be very shocked if they made anyone even feel the slightest effects at all. honestly i wouldnt even eat those but if your that desperate go rite ahead but id boil them and make a tea just to be safe. 1 gram of pans now thats another story. that is equal to 3-4 grams of cubes easily. and pe is only slightly more potent than normal cubes.

I won't get into that personal attack.
You should definitely be able to feel 1g of dried mushrooms and it should be fun. There's some people who believe that every trip should be a mind blowing ego-loss experience or sth. I personally, will experience much more on a 1g mushroom trip in the forest than 3,5g closed in some apartment.
Set & setting ftw.

Dude, I don't want to get personal in that thread, but what you're saying is a personal attack and I feel like we should talk about that.
1st of all, if you really checked my ratings, you would see there's only 1 one star rating and it's made by someone whose reputation is really crappy here. OTOH, I have 5* ratings from TCs.
2nd, most of my gallery isn't shared. You can find some of my grows in my posts. Here's some fatties of mine. I don't want to post too much on here tho, because I'm a bit paranoid.
3rd, yeah, for the best tripping experience you should definitely take more. However, if 1g is your threshold dose, you're either growing some weak ass mushrooms or you aren't even in sync with yourself enough to feel them.
I probably have more tripping experience than you're going to have until you die. And yeah, there's been plenty of heroic doses in the past. However, people that say anything below 3,5g is worthless need to have a reality check with themselves.
