Are these mushrooms contaminated? Greenish chalky inside stem

I was harvesting some golden teacher that had been left to fruit too long. I was on vacay for the weekend and forgot to harvest before I left.
Spores everywhere inside tub and covering a lot of the mushrooms.
I picked this one and it looked like a greenish chalky texture inside of the stem and top of cap. I tried searching for other posts but can’t seem to find anything related.
Can a good eye check out the pics below and let me know if I just released a disease in my house? I’m freaking out a bit worried about my family’s health??

Meh it happens I always boiled those in teas to kill anything icky. Now I just chuck em and grow more.
Nothing to worry about with releasing anything unhealthy.

Thank you much Mushboy for the swift reply!!! I was seriously contemplating telling my family to stay away and not come home tonight because once I picked it I couldn’t unpick it and was afraid I released something into the air.
I can’t find any other post similar and if anyone knows of some if you could please link them in reply I’d appreciate it much.
Does anyone know if it is rot and caused by being left to over fruit for 3 days? I figured it had to of been disease or trich or something to look like that. Although there was no odor, it still smelled like cubes just freaked me out due to the color and texture.
Thanks again mushboy especially and everyone else on this site. I’ve never spent so many hours on a forum in my life and grateful for it and everyone’s help and knowledge.

I'd toss it. After closer look that's really unappetizing.

Yeah that kind reminds me of when I get aspergillis or whatever the powdery green mold is growing on top of aborts.

I'd be willing to bet that came from a contaminated green patch. I wouldn't eat it do yourself a favor and toss it and try again.

That's bruising and spore mess. It will taste like hell, but will still do what it's supposed to. Next time, pick several days earlier. RR

Thank you all for the replies and info.
Sounds like best bet is to chuck it and I plan to when I get home from work, but extra happy to know I didn’t unleash a zombie virus in my house this afternoon and thank you again for the replies to calm the nerves.
My first RR reply! Will do the job but taste not great, roger that. I’m still at work but if the world goes to hell in a hand basket before I get home I might try to clone the green chalk as fast as I can and bury it in a clay jar for future nag hammadi seeker can find : )
This place is awesome and I thank you all much and ado as they calling me back up to the plant. Be easy and kind friendos. Happy to share this space with such a community
