Harvesting Question
    #10399467 - 05/25/09 11:47 PM (14 years, 10 months ago)

Hey everyone.
The most recent mushroom I picked in my grow was one with a fully grown mushroom, and a second smaller one coming out of the base. By the looks of it, soon I will have much thicker bundles which will include larger mushrooms and lots of smaller pins.

My question is what is the best way to harvest? Can/should I pick ONLY the fully grown mushrooms and the aborts, keeping the still growing mushrooms attached, or would I be better off simply removing the entire base of the mushroom with all the other pins still undeveloped?

I see more advantages with picking the cluster now before the one drops its spores everywhere.  Sometimes it can be hard to only pick the single shroom but if you push, pull, and twist on the guy he should separate easier from the rest of the cluster.  Once alot of shrooms are being harvested at once its way too time consuming to worry about picking a few underdeveloped guys.  ive also heard of other benefits to picking shrooms before their veil breaks like with increased dry weight and potency but i dont know if its true.

You can use a clean (sterile) knife to cut off the base of the bigger mushroom. It will not harm anything to do it this way, but try and remove the leftover stump when the second (or rest of them) mushroom matures.
