Trim mushroom stumps off after harvesting?

Hey Guys,
First time here and first time grower. I just harvested my first flush by trimming the cake. Question is should I leave the mushroom stumps attached to the cake or should I take that off as well? I want to figure that out before I dunk the cake for the next flush... I haven't been able to find any information on this.. anything will help!
Thanks

The stumps can be left....next time try to cut just a little closer...looks like you left a lot of fruit on that cake..

Aren't you supposed to lightly pull and twist the fruits off the cake so it doesn't leave stumps? Or is it better to cut them off?

You mean the 'twist and Shout'? As in twist the fruit off and then shout about how much of your sub you tore off?

OP, I cut my shrooms off the cake with a razor, and left my stumps, but mine were much closer to the cake than that. Personally Id shave that mass off, as close to the cake as you can, and dry it out for some ugly eating before the dunk!

thanks for the responses guys. I'm going to trim it up closer to the cake before dunking again. I read that twisting and pulling damages the cake a lot and takes time to repair and recover from it so thats why I trimmed. Wasn't sure how close as you can see haha. Should I roll the cake in verm again after dunk? I've read both ways on that to not sure what I'll do..

That's the truest thing I've heard all day.
