Confused about when to harvest?
    #14077235 - 03/06/11 06:59 PM (12 years, 10 months ago)

Just a little confused about what to harvest... Is it when the cap separates from the stem...?

thats what they say...  the viels tear away from the cap and remains on the stem usually and reveal the gills once separated...

the veil is that real thin peice of "skin" that connects the cap to the stem.

When the veil starts to tear it will be obvious to even the novice grower.  The veil is like "the shield" covering the gills...  The mushroom doesn't lose actives when the caps open, it just stops producing them.  So it will put on some more weight but keep the same amount of actives....Thus just have less actives per gram....No biggie

the bottom of the cap is attached to the viel which is attached to the stem..  when the veil separates its ready..  the one on the left is ready..  when most of them look like that theyre ready..

An inch and a half isn't terrible.  But if they open really early when they are very small it is a moisture content problem, either the sub is too wet or too dry...

It can also be genetics, if you used multi-spore, it's unlikely you'll get lucky and get lots of big mushrooms.

Thank you, wonderful post.
that photo was perfect.
I am first time grower newbie so one photo is worth a thousand words.

I am just curious, how many of those harvest mushrooms ( based on the type and size in the image) would it take to catch a half decent high?

I know its a hard question to answer, I am just looking for a ball park figure so that I know how quickly I can sample the harvest.

You can sample it right now.

Taking 20 grams (fresh/wet) would give you a good idea.

right on thanks
another question

I don't have scales that can measure in grams.
Any idea as to #'s

Like 5 or 10 wet mushrooms?
The reason i ask is I would like to include my partner in the first sample so I need to determine about how many mushrooms for each to eat.

thank you for your patience, I shall pick up a weight scale in the future if the opportunity presents itself.
