    #21736586 - 05/29/15 12:07 PM (8 years, 7 months ago)

hmmm. as you can see, the veil is starting to come lose on the biggest mushroom i have, but the problem is that he's in the middle of a cluster.. rest around is still growing :frown: do i pick him now and pick the whole cluster or wait? i don't think ican get the big one without damaging the others since they are all kinda growing together..

Wait until most have broken there veil or harvest individually.  It's really up to your discretion.  Me personally, I don't like it when spores are dropped all over the place. So the first bit of sporulation and I harvest them suckers.

you could cut the cap off the biggest one and let the others mature.  Or pick the few biggest ones and pick the rest as they mature.  Or you could pluck em all and get it ready for 2nd flush

what is the best to do for maximum loot? ^^
and how do you cut em off? does it matter where i cut? do the leftovers start rotting? does it increase comtamination chances?

use a clean sharp blade, I use X-acto knives. reach in there and cut it as close to the "bottom" as you can, being gentle and mindful not to disturb the other pins.
the leftovers don't start rotting, it's mycelium, it's alive.
this does not increase comtamination.
