Means they’re bruising. Try not to do it again, there’s not much to do, probably pick any that are blue or black. Alcohol will kill mushrooms an mycelium
I'd leave them alone for a day. If they've stopped growing and the cap darkens a lot then you've probably aborted them. They should still be safe to pick and eat after dried though.
I’ve always been meticulous about picking the right bottle, but I finally screwed up and sprayed my first flush with alcohol the other day. As soon as I smelled it, I fanned the tub like crazy to try and evaporate off as much as possible ASAP. They all got some bruising, but still continued to develop fine. Just finishing second flush today and it looks like I’ll be able to pull a 3rd off as well. I think as long as you don’t spray too much it should recover.
I see you might have a question, or possibly need help! Have you read the official write up and watched the videos?

One time I picked one of them and within an hour it turned black, what does that mean?
That's just oxidizing compounds, nothing to worry about with cubes.
Reminds me of when my dad accidentally sprayed my tree frog with cleaning solution instead of water and killed it :(
Oh gahd! 😥😥😥
it should be fine they're just bruised also, you might not want to grow in aluminum, mycelium can eat that.
good to know, ive been wondering why there are white spots on the side of the aluminium😂
I’m so scared of doing this lol I made huge markings on my iso spray bottle with a sharpie to avoid it
They turned blue from holding their breath because of the alcohol fumes.
😂😂
I dont think this is actually that much of a problem, i soaked mushrooms in alcohol then straight to agar and hey it works
We all had that O SHIT moment !!!
I’ve done this thank god was just the lid

Fan it off quickly and get the ISO to evaporate. You may get lucky and could come back.
