I used to do that FF, but I started having some respiratory problems due to all the dust being kicked up. So now I just cut at the base of the stem.

I often really wonder about the nutritional benefits of coir versus peat. Both can be left out for months wet and never get any sort of contamination. Reading old stories where cultivators used coir as a casing adds to part of the mystery.
I like you am an "at-home-mycologist". I do not commercially produce large quantities of anything. I always strive for the least amount of effort, with the best returns. No matter what you put in a monotub, apparently so long as its pasteurized returns MORE THAN ENOUGH for me and all 4 of my imaginary friends.

Nothing serious. I'd just start coughing and hacking up shit for about half an hour after cleaning. I'm also cleaning 8-12 oz at a time.

I probably lose around 1-2 grams per 6 oz flush. That's minimal considering I harvest in 3/4 of the time now & when I weigh out my mushis for storage it takes me 1/3 of the time.

Sounds like someone needs to quit smoking that nasty tobacco (like I did) 
My cased PE harvests are usually around 10 ounces or so, so I wear an N95 mask for cleaning those.
I am a pretty bad asthmatic. Had to kick not just cigs, but smoking completely. I now vape exclusively and my lungs thank me everyday

I can't imagine brushing them while wet. What a mess that was for me.

Yea, I need to quit smoking...
I'm getting around 7 oz on two flushes on my PEs, atm. I'm happy with that.

Nope. I get some blobs, probably 25-40 grams worth per tote, but I pick those whenever I feel like it. I hate running the dehydrator for 2 racks since it uses so much energy.

If it's just coir and verm on the base just eat it. You'll get you some vitamins and minerals. Poo is pretty nutritious too
