The mushrooms were like puple kind of... i am assuming the reason the substrate is an odd color because the spores drop? Is this ok? I heard people 'cleaning' dropped spores....is that worth is - will it be ok uncleaned?
thanks

using a cotton swab is great for cleaning them off of mushrooms, however if there is a large area then its not very practical to swab it all. Its either spores or bruising.

I don't think you should have anything to worry about.

nothing to worry about. I think it looks quite niice having patches of purple.
apart from making the shroommms taste nasty theres no harm.

thanks for the replies. lol i was worried bc practicly the entire casing was purple (kind of ugly..i like the white look ).
one more question, i am just curious if there is a significant loss in potency when you let them mature. by the looks of it, the should have been picked 3 days prior!

There might be a slight variation in potency but its so small u wont notice.
usually when u ask when to harvest, most people reply just as the veil tears, to avoid spore mess.
I have heard some people say that they are most potent at that time. Who knows but unfortunatly like yourself we cant always be there to pick right at that moment.
Happened to me just there, left them for 1 day alone and came back to purple! Thankfully it was just 1 shroom that made a mess
