WHEN CAN I PICK A SHROOM OFF AND EAT IT?
    #20328089 - 07/25/14 06:05 PM (9 years, 8 months ago)

Yes. I usually wait until the veil just start to tear but it is just a matter of preference really.

They taste worse when they sporulate but that's about the only difference. Some say it throws off your dosage because the peak of alkiloids is when the veil tears then any bigger just adds weight and no more psilly but I haven't read scientific information on this subject.
Stick to as the veil tears that way you dont leach nutrients from future flushes in case the previous is true
And yes fresh mushrooms are more potent commonly due to oxidation when drying. Though harder to eat and some complain its worse on your stomach

HI THERE OP!  I TOO WAS DIAGNOSED WITH UCD (UNFETTERED CAPSLOCK DISORDER) YOU CAN EAT THE MUSHROOMS AT ANY POINT BUT IT IS OFTEN BEST TO WAIT UNTIL THE VEIL JUST BEGINS TO TEAR, BUT NO LATER!!!

OMG THE caps!
You can pick and eat as soon as it's a pin.
Around when the veil breaks is the best bang for your buck.
Yes you can eat it fresh.
When calculating fresh dose assume 10x more is needed, so 3.5g is 35g wet.

Your mushrooms are already past ripe. The veil is the delicate bit of connective tissue that spans from the stem to that big, orange frisbee thing that we call a cap. Generally, people harvest right when the veil begins to tear away and expose the gills on the underside of the cap.

Put them in a good food dehydrator.

A mediocre food dehydrator will also work.

But yes, the veil is the thin piece of connective tissue between the cap and the stipe.  It sounds like you let your caps flatten out and that means they've definitely sporulated already.  So, those will probably taste kind of funky.

Heat affects potency a LOT less than sitting around oxidizing at full moisture level does.  The sooner the dryer, the better.  You can bring mushrooms to a rolling boil without potency being affected substantially, a dehydrator's effect on potency really isn't notable.

I said notable.  That's a word that means worth noting.  Which it isn't.

Psilocybin/psilocin don't begin to degrade til temperature of 400-450 degrees Fahrenheit.

The dehydrator set on max won't effect them. You can even cook them in with a steak and onions if you wanted to :shrug:
