If the mushroom can't complete it's life cycle as it evolved to do then it may have consequences further down the line. The mushrooms fruits and mycellium are part of the same organism so if you pick a mushroom you remove part of the organism. Perhaps more mushrooms will fruit in order to compensate though. Doubt anybody really knows. Probably is sensible not to overpick if you want lots of mushrooms in the future, just to be safe. Respect the shrooms and maybe they'll be good to you back.

By the time you find a fully developed mushroom, it has already released millions of spores.
