Best time to pick shrooms?

i am getting to that point with my Amazons.. I just wanted to ask you pros 2 questions..
One is When is the best time to pick the shroom. I have one that i think is done but the rest are not. Can i just wait for the majority to get mature or should i pick them as they mature?
Two is: when getting prints i see that the spores are always blackish. Now i have looked under my shrooms are they are white.. Does this mean that when they are black under the cap the shroom is mature?
thanks for you time.......

There's a lot of specualtion about when the best time to pick a mushroom is. A lot of people tend to agree that picking the shroom right before the veil breaks is the best time to assure maximum potency.

I'd like the opinions of others as well. It seems that picking the larger fruits before the veil breaks gives the little guys more time to grow. However, there gets to be so many pins at times its hard to keep track of them all, and when you get that many its best to harvest when all the caps are open, IMO.

Hate to tell you guys but there is absolutely no evidence that the veil has any relevance to the potency of any psilocybes.

Is there any SCIENTIFIC STUDIES about this whole "pick 'em when the veil is about to break"? Thing? I don't beleive it. I like my babies to get as large as possible. More weight, ya know? Yes, I know this is a 20 year ols thread, but I don't give a fook. SCIENTIFIC STUDY ANTONE? Link? Thanks Shroomerians

Can't tell fore sure, but read that doc earlier, The article Where Stamets said something like, when the shroom transforms its flesh in gills and spores, there's a significant lost of potency.
Plus, i'd personally though that when the veil starts to >tear< would be my best spot. As from what i remember from the shroom life cycle, it doesn't produce anything more past a stade of growth, basically just cells infalting themselves with water, no more compounds produced, so the bigger only means the more water to dry.
-------------------- Sadly,no actual try at growing

I like to let the canopy develop. An open cap, but not necessarily curled upwards. Some varieties get much larger after the veil breaks if there's even much of one to observe at all. My Avery's Albino is an example of this. They must be harvested when quite mature, regardless of the veil.
