Went off on vacation, came back to explosion in a box

I ran off on after a period of struggle, and asked a friend to come and spray some water every few days on the vermiculite and coconut sandwich i had growing. At the point of leaving i completely let go of the box giving up on it.
I arrived back today and, What ended up happening was that i took too long to get back, and the end result was that the ones that grew firs exploded their spores downward to the substrate.
Is there any way to salvage at least a bit of the spores? Like maybe on a cotton pad or something.
I saw some posts of people using razors to scrape parts of the mushroom for the spores. All of this of course is beyond sterile, just having wishful thinking and hopes for future endeavors. There's also contamination on the back, a green mould (not bruising) which seemed to have stopped at some point, and there was one gnat that flew out.
Any replies would be very useful. Thank you in advance.

if there are still caps, just try to take a spore print. if you can't, just scrape some spores off anything onto agar & hope for the best

I scraped them on to alcohol cleaned dry cotton pads, dipped in distilled water and put in sterile jars for keeping at least a short while. That idea was since it's already non-clean the kish can simply eat the cotton when placed in a jar of substrate.
Today I'll scrape some on tim foil and hope for the best, or wait for a new mush fruit and pick out that one. Thanks!
