Hi guys,

First time grower here, I mistakenly left the lid on my kit while in the bag ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ, the shrooms still grew and popped the lid off, but there was some green mold present and 1 huge shroom.

I harvested them just after taking the picture I've attached, and I dried them in a dehydrator, you can see the second image.

Questions I hope you can help with:

Is the green mold going to affect the shrooms?

There's some mold on the cake, I'm attempting a second harvest, but suspect probably a bad idea due to the mold?

The dried shrooms have a blueish tint, I've read this is normal, called bruising, just double checking it's not related to the mold.

The size of the large mushroom, will this be less potent per gram, and impact my dosing?

Any guidance would be appreciated, trying not to use reddit for this ๐Ÿ˜…

I hadn't dried shrooms before, so it was a good trial run at that too, I think I'll slice them all thin next time before I start drying them, the sliced ones were cracker dry a lot quicker than the whole ones.

Thanks for the guidance man, much appreciated ๐Ÿ™Œ
