First harvest - Penis Envy 1

I'm sort of walking my friend through the process he has cakes going his first cake has some caps ready for harvest. He held the base and pulled the mushrooms he thought were ready off the cakes. Is this a safe way to harvest?
Are the main signs for P.E. wrinkling and bruising near the cap?
And can't you dunk and roll somewhere during harvest again, or even more?
How do you know when your first flush is done?

Yes that is how to harvest.
Not sure, never grown PE, bruising and wrinkling doesn't sound right though.
Dunk and roll after each flush. For example pick all the mature mushrooms and leave the pins on, then dunk again.
I kind of 'force' flushes. Once the first few mature I give it about 2-3 days before picking all mature fruits and dunking again.

With PE's it's normal for the edge of the cap to turn slightly blue when mature. And by wrinkling do you mean the chunky cluster underneath the cap? When you see that chunk growin, it's time to start harvesting.

yes when the stem fills out under the cap and the edges of the cap start to flatten out it is ready and yes bruising around the stem where it meets the cap is normal ive found with this strain

biggest one wa slike 30 grams wet 3 inches long and about 2 inches in diameter of the stem

Okay so even on cakes it is advisable that we let them do their thing for a little longer?
Also when spraying he is spraying above so that the water falls gently on the environment, how frequently should he do this during fruiting?
I see a previous poster also said he picks all of them and then dunks and rolls the cake again, would that be a better idea yield wise? Should I give them another day or two then pick all of them or one by one as they see mature.

I think I may have harvested my first apes a little to early, will these still be safe to ingest? I thought they had gotten soft enough but I think I should have Waited on the caps to open up more
