Ready to Harvest? [Pics]

Hey everybody,
This is my first time growing shrooms. I used a cubensis grow kit, but it seems a bit different than the ones I've seen on here, so I'll explain it. I deposited some spores into a bag of rye. When the bag became white (mostly), I emptied the rye bag into a bag of "Kowanite" compost (came included with the kit.) Months later, I'm finally getting my shrooms! I just noticed them the other day, but I have 1-3 shrooms that are pretty big, while most are still smallish. I've included pics. SO my question is this- should I go ahead and harvest the big ones now? the veil looks like it could break on them soon. I have a food dryer on hand and ready to go.
Sorry about the picture quality! through the bag it's kind of hard.

Yeah you can harvest and they should be fine to eat, but that substrate is not fully colonized and they are more than likely pinning due to some contam in that bag. I'd harvest and bury that

Personally I wouldn't harvest and I would toss the whole thing

You're kidding me! That's terrible news. What reason is there to not harvest what's in there?

If it matters, I would add that actual pins have even only begun developing recently- within the last week. Is there really no chance that they're just a little slow to start?

Slow? There shouldn't be any mushrooms in that bag. The fact that there is, bad news. Let alone that it's not fully colonized and looks like a hot mess

I agree, toss it out. I had some jars pin before they fully colonized. when i opened them up, smelt like rotten apples. They all went in the compost pile. A good trip is not worth the risk.
