Trich, dry bubble, dry?

Hi, I'm Mahe new around and a noob aswell, nice to meet you all!
I will apologise about my english first as its not my main language.
So, as i said, i'm getting started into the mushroom world and two weeks ago i decided to buy a grow kit with a friend and followed all the steps from the several guides on the internet.
A week ago i found out about this community and started reading threads and investigate (i'm getting hook into this hobby).
Now i know grow kits are not recomended and the "tek" of the bag is also a bad idea, but it seems it's too late for my first try, two days ago i found my myc is starting to get greenish-blueish, but i didn't know if it was bruising or trich, so i decided to leave it and keep an eye on it.
Today i shaw no propagation of the color and it does not have the powdery texture that i've seen on some pics and threads but the pins are starting to peel and get colour.
I'm mostly sure that all of you are going to tell me to toss the kit and try again in a proper way, but it feels bad, i was so excited about my first experience with shrooms.
Also in top of that i'm just curious about what it is, because i can't seem to find a pic around that seems like "my contam".
Any insights? Any way of saving them or any recomendations?
Thx in advance

The dark brown heads are aborts. Those mushrooms have stopped growing. You have some fuzzy feet which could be a fresh air exchange problem. Nothing looks contaminated to me. What you saw was likely bruising? What kind of water to sub ratio are you using? The peeling stripes of some of them look like you may be lacking enough moisture for the fruits. I wouldn’t toss it just yet, It’s not over.

There's a weird green spot on 3rd pic that could be bruising but has that weird moldy feeling to me. The brown stuff on the stipes is probably some slight bacteria from wetness. Nothing looks too wrong to me either otherwise

I don't really know about the water to sub ratio because when i followed the "steps" of a grow kit, i filled the sub with water on the case and leave it in the fridge for about 24h and then pured in the bag like 200ml of water.
I've been misting them every two days and opening the bag one to two times a day.
That's what every "tutorial" seemed to recomend until i founded this site.
Any remendations on how to save them and get them as healthy as possible? I thought to leave the bag half open and mist them more often, or even make some little holes in the bag (but idk if thats a good idea or a crime)

Yeah I was also worried about that being an starting formation of trich but i didn't know because it didn't expanded.

IMO leave the bag just ever so slightly open (one paperclip right between the middle and each side) and don't mist. Leave it alone for the most part. I think you already have too much moisture in there, your caps look leathery and weird. Also darkening is not just aborts, I've found from experience it also happens when they have too much water, especially on fruits that are already past being pins.
If that green spot from 3rd pic grows out let your stuff finish its flush, harvest and toss it.
For the most part, dial the stuff in and leave it alone and it'll do good. Don't open and peak into the bag constantly etc as you'll also fuck with the conditions inside.
Read the Hitchhiker's Guide To The Shroomery. Pick up some teks (if you just want to do half assed PF teks, you can go with just PF tek and syringes but I strongly recommend going with atleast agar and a still air box) and stick to them, follow them to a T. Then you'll have so many shrooms you won't know what to do with them.

Okay, i will do as said, many thanks to both of you for the help.
I will comment updates if anything strange happen.
Will you say those leathery brownish pins are safe to eat or only the healthy ones? Should i make a tea just in case or it will be fine?
I've just been these morning reading that thread and is very interesting, i'm looking to follow a proper tek but i will surely fuck up on some stage or i will be worried all the time

They're safe to eat for sure. No need for a tea there, they're just loaded with water.
Don't worry about fucking up, it's a big part of learning things. Making mistakes teaches you to not make them in the future

Hi again guys, i did what you told me and augmented the FAE opening the bag, checking that humidity is still present, but they seem worst now, i really don't know what it is but some of them are dying and for the most part they are not fruiting and getting bigger anymore, what could this be?
Thank you all in advance!
