help, caps turning black

So my friend was growing some shrooms but he had to go away for a week and asked if I could take care of them. He said it shouldn't be much, just circulqaring some air every now and then, but the caps have already opened up on some and they started to turn black. Most are fine but the ones that have opened, the tops are fully black. Can the black ones still be used and should I pick the other ones before my friend come back ( he gets back in about 5 days)?

probably just spores on top of the mushrooms, they appear almost black, deep purple actually. wipe the black with your finger and see if its just dust, or if the actual color of the fruit is turning black.

no, pick all mushrooms that have broken the veil or are close to tearing the veil. The veil is the paper like substance underneath the mushroom cap, it's white and when broken is a sign that the mushroom is near maturity.
All smaller musrhooms that have not opened their caps are still growing and should be left alone.
