This is a pic listed in the contams forum...if it resembles this pic I'd say they're contaminated with something...

If I were you I'd give the shrooms back to God and not eat them.

are they slimey or are they just wet from the humidity and feel slick? Just about ever shroom ive grown has had a wet cap that made it feel slick, but not slimey.
As far as the difference between slimey and slick would be this. Slick just feels wet, where as slimey would feel wet but has a layer of goo on it. Hope this helps.

I took that photo. The cake that mushroom came off was as green as it could get. I let it fruit, away from others, just to see what happened.
Good luck
