Help! McKennai Grow Kit contaminated but mushrooms still look good, should I harvest? [Photos]

Hi everyone,
This is my first time cultivating mushrooms. I currently have two McKennai grow kits. One is on day 9 and the mushrooms have been growing very well until this morning when I noticed some light green mould at the back of the box [see pictures]. I realise that this means my box is contaminated, but the mushrooms still look in good shape! Can I still harvest these? And if I can, should I harvest them as soon as possible, or wait until the veil nearly breaks? I don't want the contamination to get any worse, but not sure what to do and would love to save these mushrooms!
Any help is really really appreciated!


Thank you!

They are fine to harvest, go ahead when the veil starts ripping.

I'm worried the pictures aren't doing it justice, there is green/bluey mould looking stuff, you sure that's all okay??

You are freaking out about nothing my friend. If you posted something that looked even remotely dangerous I would tell you! Any bluish or greenish coloration on your shroomies is kinda normal. Don't sweat it.
My concern is not with your grow but rather how you are going to use them. Do your research, be in a safe place, be cool . Best wishes amigo

Okay thank you so much! Means a lot.
And don't worry I'm a very safe tripper! I meditate and set intentions and also always start in a safe space. I had a bad experience when I was younger with acid which has made me extra cautious with these kinds of experiences. But thanks for the concern

Growkits are one way to get mushies but DIY is very self-rewarding
